Mop Top® Fountain Butterfly Bush

Mop Top® Fountain Butterfly Bush is a garden showstopper unlike any other butterfly bush, it blooms in spring rather than summer, cascading fragrant lavender flower clusters from long, gracefully weeping branches that give the shrub its whimsical, fountain-like silhouette. A Proven Winners selection of Buddleia alternifolia, this compact beauty is a full zone hardier than standard butterfly bushes and arrives at the party just when early-season pollinators need it most.

• Unique weeping, fountain-like habit draped in cascading lavender blooms
• Blooms in spring, earlier than standard butterfly bushes, feeding early-season pollinators
• Sweetly fragrant flowers attract bumblebees, red admirals, and mourning cloak butterflies
