More Information

Description Unique, orb-shaped flowers make Sugar Shack® buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) look impossibly exotic. But in fact, buttonbush is native to North America and surprisingly easy to grow! Sugar Shack® is prized for its compact habit, at roughly half the native buttonbush's size, making it perfect for home gardens! In summer, sweetly scented spherical flowers decorate buttonbush's leafy habit, replaced by unique red seed pods for more color and interest in fall. Pollinators love its fragrant blooms! This widely adaptable wonder adds unique and native interest to your landscape. You'll love its super glossy foliage too! Details How To Grow

Sugar Shack Buttonbush

The plant came packaged very well and in excellent condition. It was planted right away and is being carefully watered, as buttonbush are moisture-loving shrubs. It is growing and looking vibrant and healthy. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the flowers!

I am extremely pleased with the quality and condition of this plant. I have ordered from several different nurseries over the years but I have never received plants as healthy and lush at this price point. Well packaged and very fast shipping. Good selection of native plants at this nursery. I will definitely be ordering again.
