1 Live Plant Buttonbush Cephalanthus occidentalis 12 Inch Tall

Buttonbush is a deciduous North American native shrub admired for its distinctive spherical white flower clusters that resemble pincushions or small snowballs, blooming through summer above glossy green foliage. Its rounded, arching habit and unique blossoms make it a standout in naturalized borders, rain gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
This shrub suits wet soils and waterside plantings, where its late-season flowers add texture and movement to the garden. The fragrant globe-shaped blooms open across mid to late summer and develop into rounded seed heads that persist into cooler months. Its multi-stemmed form works well as a specimen shrub, grouped planting, or informal hedge, providing structure and seasonal interest.
