Lo & Behold® Ice Chip Butterfly Bush

The Lo & Behold® Ice Chip Butterfly Bush is a fantastic dwarf flowering shrub that is the magnet for butterflies, insects and hummingbirds that butterfly bushes are, but it is also a wonderful dwarf summer-flowering shrub in its own right, carrying a profusion of pure-white flower clusters from mid-summer to the first hard frost. The gray-green foliage is the perfect background for those icy-white blooms, and this plant is terrific for slopes, rocky areas, grouped in the foreground of large beds, standing alone in a smaller bed, or in planters or pots. Whichever way you grow it you will love that it is completely sterile, producing no viable seeds or pollen, and therefore safe to plant anywhere at all, without any risk of it spreading into wild areas.

• Smothered in pure-white blooms for months
• Flowers continuously from mid-summer to frost
• Compact size fits into any garden
• Easy and reliable for those hot, sunny and dry places
• Produces no seeds to threaten your local ecology

The Lo & Behold® Ice Chip Butterfly Bush should be planted in full sun. Nowhere in your garden is too hot and sunny for it, and once established it is very drought resistant. Well-drained soil is necessary, so don’t plant in low-lying or wet areas, particularly if they are wet in winter. A simple trim in spring is all the care needed, and the flowers simply fade away, already replaced by more, without any dead-heading. Usually free of pests and diseases, and left alone by deer, this plant is a great low-maintenance choice for gardens of any size.
