Button Bush

Button Bush: A Unique Native for Water-Wise Landscapes

The Button Bush adds an unexpected twist to any landscape with its globe-shaped blooms that look like nature's own ornaments. This shrub is both whimsical and functional, offering a striking visual presence along ponds, streams, and boggy gardens. Its blooms attract a steady stream of pollinators, making it one of the best shrubs for supporting wildlife.

Why Button Bush Stands Out

Gardeners love Button Bush for more than its pollinator appeal. It's deer-resistant, tolerant of wet conditions, and makes an excellent erosion control plant. The large, shiny leaves give it a lush, tropical vibe even in native gardens, and the reddish fall color extends its visual impact well into autumn. It's the kind of plant that gets people asking, "What is that beautiful thing?"

Tips for Growing Button Bush Successfully

Choose a spot that mimics its natural habitat-moist, rich soil and good sunlight. Button Bush can handle areas where other plants struggle, such as along retention ponds or ditches. It can reach impressive heights, so give it room and consider pairing it with smaller perennials that also enjoy moist ground. With minimal care, it delivers maximum reward year after year.
