Button Bush Has Gorgeous Blooms

Buttonbush is a pretty shrub with glossy foliage and one-inch round clusters of cream-colored flowers that ripen into achenes. It's related to the coffee bush, also called the buttonwillow or honeybells.

Butterflies Love Button Bush

Butterflies adore the nectar found in the button bush's flowers, and it's a mainstay in butterfly gardens. Deer are also fond of the leaves, and bees make honey from the nectar. When the achenes, or seeds, arrive, birds avidly eat them. Buttonbush is found in Quebec and central Mexico. There are some populations of the shrub in California and Arizona. It's an understory plant that prefers to grow beneath taller trees.
