The Button Bush: Nature’s Magnet for Pollinators

If you want to fill your yard with life, the Button Bush is a game-changer. Each summer, it produces fragrant, spherical blossoms that resemble pincushions—buzzing with bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds from the moment they bloom. This wetland-loving shrub adds wild beauty to any naturalized landscape while quietly supporting the local ecosystem.

Button Bush Benefits Beyond Beauty

This North American native isn’t just about good looks. It’s a crucial plant for wetland restoration and waterway stabilization. Button Bush tolerates seasonal flooding and heavy clay soils, growing vigorously even in tough conditions. Its ability to filter runoff and resist erosion makes it valuable in conservation efforts—and perfect for sustainable gardens.

How to Plant and Care for Button Bush

Give it a sunny or partly shaded spot with consistently moist soil. Button Bush doesn’t mind wet feet and will reward you with lush growth and a long bloom period from mid to late summer. It naturally grows into a rounded shape, but it can be pruned in early spring to keep it more compact. No matter where you plant it, it brings ecological richness and enduring beauty.
