Buddleia Mop Top™ Butterfly Bush

Buddleia Mop Top™, part of the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs collection, is a unique butterfly bush known for its compact size and unique weeping habit. Growing to just 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, Mop Top™ features long, arching branches that create a fountain-like effect, adding graceful elegance to the garden. In spring, these slender branches are covered in clusters of lavender blooms, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The fragrant flowers make beautiful additions to spring bouquets or cut flower arrangements, filling your garden and home with the charm of springtime.

A Buddleia alternifolia cultivar, commonly called butterfly bush or fountain butterfly bush, Mop Top is well-suited for small-space gardens and larger pollinator/a> gardens. This multi-stemmed shrub performs beautifully as a specimen or in mass plantings, adding color and texture to borders and beds.

Cold hardy to Zone 4, Mop Top is a full zone hardier than many other buddleia varieties, thriving in sunny locations with well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, this low-maintenance shrub is perfect for gardeners looking to add a beautiful and resilient flowering shrub to their landscapes.
