If you’re not familiar with ButtonBush, prepare to meet one of the neatest plants you’ll ever meet.  It’s a native shrub that produces these incredible pin-cushion-like white balls that have a scented flower head.  Hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators absolutely love this plant! Because of this, ButtonBush has a very important purpose.

ButtonBush are water lovers so they do well around ponds, rain gardens, along streams, or anywhere it won’t dry out.  In fact, it can be grown in water up to 18″ deep!  If planted in your landscape, just be sure to keep it watered.  Otherwise, it is extremely low maintenance, doesn’t really require pruning, and has no serious issues with pests or disease.

Ours are in 2-gallon pots and would love a well-watered home with you! I don’t think you’ll regret having this unique beauty around you, and you’ll feel great about supporting the pollinators.
