Buttonbush – Truly as cute as a button, this Texas native shrub wins the award for most interesting flower! This multi-trunked deciduous bush natively grows around ponds, along creeksides, and within prairie swales, making it a perfect addition to any yard that has a stubborn wet spot. In early summer, its spherical white flowers dangle from the branches like a funky disco ball, and are much beloved by our native bees and other pollinators. At maturity, this shrub can grow up to 8 feet tall and about 6 feet wide with large sweeping branches that emerge from the ground. Plant in full sun or part shade, and ensure it stays in moist soil.
