Common Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis)

Buttonbush is a distinctive native shrub featuring lovely round creamy white “button” flowers which shine against glossy deep green leaves that blooms from July to August. The fragrant blooms are attractive to a wide array of pollinators including butterflies. Buttonbush is easily grown in moist or wet soils, including areas that experience flooding, making it a good candidate for the rain garden. It is adaptable to a wide range of soils, but is not suitable for dry sites.
