Cephalanthus occidentalis / BUTTONBUSH

Cephalanthus occidentalis, commonly known as Buttonbush, is a unique, deciduous shrub native to North America, prized for its spherical clusters of fragrant white flowers that bloom in mid to late summer. The flowers resemble little "buttons" and are highly attractive to pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies. Buttonbush thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found along streams, wetlands, or water edges, but it can also be grown in garden settings with adequate moisture. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide a rich backdrop to the flowers, which are followed by rounded, spiky seed heads that persist into the fall. Cephalanthus occidentalis is an excellent choice for adding texture, fragrance, and wildlife appeal to wetland gardens or water features.
