Buttonbush

Buttonbush is a deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub prized for its distinctive spherical flower clusters and ability to thrive in wet or boggy conditions. Reaching 4-8 feet tall, it produces fragrant, button-like white blooms from mid-summer through fall, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Hardy and low-maintenance, Buttonbush adapts to full sun to partial shade and tolerates poor drainage, making it ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, and naturalized landscapes. Its late-season flowering extends garden interest when many other plants are fading.
