Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) is a versatile and beautiful flowering shrub native to North America. Buttonbush features glossy, dark green leaves that turn a vibrant yellow in fall. It boasts clusters of fragrant, white, button-shaped flowers in summer, attracting butterflies and pollinators.
Buttonbush thrives in wet soils and tolerates flooding, making it ideal for rain gardens, ponds, and stream banks. Its swollen base and root system also help with erosion control in these areas. It provides valuable food and shelter for various wildlife species, including birds, butterflies, and bees. Birds consume the seeds, while the leaves provide sustenance for caterpillars of some moth species.
Once established, Buttonbush requires minimal care and is resistant to pests and diseases. Overall, Buttonbush is a valuable addition to landscapes, offering beauty, ecological benefits, and adaptability to various conditions.

Great plants, fast shipping, well-packed!
Thank you. I ordered a dozen trees and shrubs from you, including Eastern Hemlock, Witch Hazel, and Buttonbush. They all arrived in great condition and were well-packed. The burlap wrapping around the root ball of each plant is a classy touch! I'll be coming back to you for more next spring.

Extremely Pleased
The buttonbush was EXTREMELY well packaged. There were leaves on all the plants. I planted them in large pots. They are doing VERY well! Would definitely recommend Old House Trees,.

Buttonbush
The shrub was in very healthy condition. I planted in boggy area on my property and it is leafing out. I highly recommend this nursery for your gardening needs. I especially like the native specimans.

Absolutely Lovely!
I bought two buttonbushes, a red chokeberry and a red maple. They exceeded my expectations! Well packaged, bigger than I expected, and so very healthy. I've planted them and all are doing beautifully. I will most certainly order from this site again.

Purchased Buttonbush
I received my buttonbush on time and in excellent shape. It was very well packaged and a good size. Can't wait to see it bud out.
