Cephalanthus Bushes (Buttonbush)

Cephalanthus (sĕf-uh-LĂN-this), more commonly called Buttonbush, is a uniquely-fascinating deciduous shrub distinguished by its spherical, bristly white or pale pink flower clusters that playfully resemble pincushions or buttons. Blooming in mid to late summer, these fragrant, nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making Buttonbush an excellent choice for your wildlife-friendly garden. Its glossy, verdant foliage adds lush texture throughout the growing season, turning yellow in the fall for lasting seasonal color. Buttonbush thrives in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-draining soil, an ideal selection for wet areas, such as rain gardens, pond edges, or stream banks. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub is also deer-resistant and tolerant of soggy soil, making it perfect for naturalized landscapes.
