The fragrant flowers are perfect for spring bouquets and cut arrangements, bringing the beauty of spring indoors.

A cultivar of Buddleia alternifolia, also known as the butterfly bush or fountain butterfly bush, Mop Top is an excellent choice for small-space gardens and larger pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its multi-stemmed, compact growth makes it ideal as a specimen plant or in mass plantings, adding color, texture, and movement to beds and borders.
