Buckbrush

Buckbrush is a native deciduous shrub prized for its dense, spreading growth habit and delicate white flower clusters that bloom in late spring. This hardy, drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to poor, sandy, or rocky soils—making it ideal for low-maintenance landscapes. Its fine-textured foliage provides year-round structure, while the fragrant flowers attract pollinators and wildlife. Buckbrush is excellent for erosion control, hedgerows, and naturalized plantings. Once established, it requires minimal water and maintenance, making it a sustainable choice for water-conscious gardens and native plant landscapes.
