Buttonbush is a deciduous shrub with an open-rounded habit that
typically grows 6-12’ (infrequently to 20’) tall. It most frequently occurs in
wet open areas, low woods, thickets, swamps, upland sink-hole ponds, river
bottomland and stream/pond margins. Tiny, tubular, 5-lobed, fragrant white
flowers appear in dense, spherical, long-stalked flower heads (to 1.5”
diameter) in early to mid-summer. Long, projecting styles give the flower heads
a distinctively pincushion-like appearance. Flower heads are very attractive to
bees and butterflies. Flower heads mature into hard spherical ball-like fruits
consisting of multiple tiny two-seeded nutlets. Fruiting heads usually persist
throughout the winter. Ovate to elliptic glossy bright green leaves (to 6” long)
are in pairs or whorls. Leaves emerge late in spring (May). Easily grown in
moist, humusy soils in full sun to part shade. Grows very well in wet soils,
including flood conditions and shallow standing water. Adapts to a wide range
of soils except dry ones.
