Lo & Behold® 'Pink Micro Chip' Butterfly bush

Lo & Behold® ‘Pink Micro Chip’ is a very dwarf butterfly bush with a low, spreading mound of orchid-pink flower spikes. It typically reaches 18–24 inches tall and wide, with flowers starting in early summer and continuing into fall. ## Flowers and form The dense green foliage and small scale make it useful at the front of a border, in mass plantings or in a container. Its fragrant flowers attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/buddleia/lo-behold-pink-micro-chip-butterfly-bush-buddleia-x) describes this exact selection as the smallest in the Lo & Behold series, with 18–24-inch dimensions and orchid-pink flowers. [North Carolina State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/buddleja-lo-behold-pink-micro-chip/) confirms its cultivar identity and low spreading growth, with the precise 18-inch to 2-foot dimension range. ## Siting Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water during establishment and more often in heat or when grown in a pot. The NCSU profile notes drought tolerance after establishment and warns that consistently wet soil can cause root problems. The plant is listed for USDA zones 5–9. ## Maintenance The flowers form on new growth, and routine deadheading is unnecessary. North Carolina State Extension recommends pruning back in late winter after new leaves appear near the base, which encourages a vigorous spring flush and a better shape.
