Sugar Shack® 2.0 Buttonbush - Caphalanthus occidentalis

This native shrub is as cute as a button! Sugar Shack Buttonbush 2.0 (Caphalanthus) improves on the popular Sugar Shack Buttonbush, with more flowers, improved heat and cold-tolerant, and a compact, tidier habit. Not only do the nectar-rich circular flowers attract pollinators, but the foliage also serves as a larval host plant to several varieties of sphinx moths. Because buttonbush is commonly found in the wild near streams and swampy areas, it is well-suited to sunny areas with moist to wet soils. No special care is required to grow buttonbush, though it could use some shredded bark mulch in early spring.
