Buttonbush is a native lowland bush with a wide range throughout much of Eastern North America. It usually grows to between three and nine feet in height. It has glossy leaves and dramatic and distinctive white globe-shaped flowers in midsummer. These will attract butterflies and hummingbirds. After the flowers spent, it develops interesting, round, reddish to brownish seed heads that it retains even into the winter. Many species of songbirds are attracted to these seed heads. The leaves turn to shades of yellow and red in the fall. 

 Buttonbush can be planted in a variety of wet spots. It can work well in a rain garden by a downspout, with the soil amended to retain the moisture of the run-off. It can be planted on the sides of ponds, lakes, and streams. It can also be naturalized in ditches and other moist to wet, low lying areas, where it will tolerate flooding. It can even grow and thrive in shallow levels of standing water. The shrub is useful for soil retention and erosion control in low areas and moist banks. It is also helpful for attracting and providing habitat for wildlife in the setting of wilderness and wetland restoration, or a wildflower garden. Buttonbush is hardy from zones 5 through 9.
