(Butterfly Bush) Buddleia Chrysalis™ Blue is a compact, butterfly-attracting shrub that delivers rich lavender-blue flower spikes from summer into fall. Its tidy, mounded habit makes it ideal for small gardens, borders, and containers. Despite its smaller size, this butterfly bush provides nonstop color and fragrance, drawing in bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds throughout the season.

Hardy in zones 5-9, Chrysalis™ Blue thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It grows to a compact height of 20-28 inches tall and up to 28 inches wide, making it perfect for tight spaces or patio planters. It is highly drought tolerant once established, and its deer and rabbit resistance adds to its low-maintenance appeal.

This Buddleia blooms on new wood, so it benefits from pruning back in early spring to encourage fresh growth and heavy flowering. Deadheading spent blooms can also help extend the flowering period. With its neat shape, vibrant blooms, and pollinator-friendly nature, Chrysalis™ Blue is a top choice for gardeners seeking beauty, resilience, and long bloom time in a compact form.
