Buttonbush is a native multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with an open rounded habit and unusual round flower clusters resembling pincushions.  The glossy bright green foliage emerges late in spring.  Its clusters of tiny white flowers bloom in mid summer and mature to rounded fruits that last through winter.  Prefers rich, moist to wet and well-drained soils. 

Cephalanthus occidentalis is an excellent native replacement for butterfly bushes, and acts as a host plant for several types of butterflies and attractive moths.  It also provides late season seeds and nesting areas for birds.
