Cephalanthus Occidentalis "Sugar Shack" - Buttonbush

Buttonbush has long been prized as a native, but it was way too big for most landscapes. What's special about Sugar Shack buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) is that it's a fraction of the size of conventional buttonbush - perfectly sized even for small yards. After the flowers fade, they leave behind bright red fruits that bring color and beauty clear through the first frost. Very glossy foliage keeps it eye-catching beyond its bloom time as well. Great for rain gardens!
