Sugar Shack Buttonbush

Cephalanthus occidentalis

Many have long valued buttonbush, but most settings could not accommodate its large size. Not any longer! We've added glossy foliage, vibrant red fruit, and halved the size. You have a beautiful plant that sparkles from spring to fall when you add in white blossoms that are aromatic and cool-looking.
