Proven Winners ColorChoice 5" Purple Mop Top Fountain Butterfly Bush Live Plant in 4.5" Pot (4 Count)

With its elegant, arching branches and early-season flower display, Mop Top™ Fountain Butterfly Bush offers a unique twist on a garden favorite. Unlike the more familiar upright varieties, this fountain-type butterfly bush features long, weeping stems that create a soft, flowing silhouette—bringing movement and drama to the landscape. In spring, its cascading branches are covered in densely packed, pale purple blooms that offer an early and abundant food source for pollinators, especially bees. It’s a standout performer when few other nectar plants are available. Mop Top™ requires well-draining soil and thrives in full sun, but unlike most butterfly bushes, it blooms on old wood—so skip the spring pruning and trim only after flowering has finished. If you're looking to add structure, softness, and seasonal interest with minimal effort, Mop Top™ is a distinctive, low-maintenance choice with high ornamental value.
