Flowering is continuous from spring through late summer without deadheading, and the panicles sit close enough to the foliage that the plant reads as a flowering shrub rather than a collection of wands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun with free drainage. It is highly drought tolerant once established, resistant to downy mildew, and holds its form in rain rather than collapsing open. Cut back hard in late winter to rebuild the framework. The compact habit makes it a practical choice for a border front, a mass planting, or a large container, and it draws butterflies as reliably as any of the taller forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature height: 50–70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature width: 45–60 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight needs: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFragrance: Medium, honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant, mildew resistant, attracts butterflies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Spring Park Nursery","offers":[{"title":"100 mm","offer_id":52727643963703,"sku":"20045476","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"140 mm","offer_id":52727644356919,"sku":"20090250","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5499\/2695\/files\/01-BuddleiaChrysalis-SteelBlue-2025April-WB.jpg?v=1791527444","url":"https:\/\/springpark.com.au\/products\/buddleja-chrysalis-steel-blue","provider":"Spring Park Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
