The Buttonbush is a unique, moisture-loving deciduous shrub celebrated for its spherical, pincushion-like white flowers that bloom in mid-summer. Highly attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, it serves as a vital nectar source and provides winter interest with its reddish-brown, globe-shaped nutlets. This resilient native plant is particularly well-suited for rain gardens, pond margins, or low-lying areas of the landscape where other shrubs might struggle with "wet feet."
