Professional Growing Information Initially I was disappointed, but that was because I was impatient. I thought these would flower early. They don't, but since the beginning of July (Zone 7) they have been fabulous. It was a very cold Winter for us. I’m very happy with them. I took a photo to add to my review so you could see them, but there isn’t a way to do that here.

Geek out over this super tiny butterfly bush!
Lo & Behold® 'Pink Micro Chip' is the smallest member yet of this series of award-winning dwarf butterfly bush. It's a tiny and tidy mound of orchid-pink flower spikes, with a cute pincushion-like habit that makes it perfect for including in perennial gardens. Earlier blooming than other butterfly bush, which means you get non stop color from early summer clear through frost. Highly deer and rabbit resistant, too!
Top three reasons to grow Lo & Behold® 'Pink Micro Chip' butterfly bush:
- very dwarf habit
- pink flowers appear earlier than other butterfly bush
- non-invasive

Steady growing and constant bloomer!! We love the Lo and Behold varieties and have each color!! Deer resistant which is wonderful!

Planted three of these on the west side of our house. The first year the deer tasted two of them and spit them out but the plants came back anyway. This year all three are healthy and blooming and the deer have left them alone. The flowers this year are larger than last and are beautiful. I would definitely buy more of these. I deadhead mine just because I don't like the look of the dead flowers left on the plant.

We planted six of these this spring and they are putting on quite a show. We couldn't be more pleased. Additionally, the packaging and service from PW was excellent.
