Description
Buttonbush starter shrub (Cephalanthus occidentalis). Buttonbush is typically seen around pond and wetland edges but it a great choice for medium to moist sunny areas. Gets up to 12 ft high. The star like flowers bloom in mid summer and are popular with swallowtail butterflies. We also regularly find promethea silk moth cocoons on ours in winter too.
These have gone dormant for the year, but still have excellent root growth and can be planted anytime the ground isn’t frozen. Just treat as is though it were still growing and water through any prolonged dry spells. These are grown outside here in Michigan. They may still have some foliage or yellowing foliage if ordered in early fall but as fall progresses and through winter, will just be old stems. Planting dormant plants is a great way to get plants established for next season!
All of our plants are grown in biodegradable fabric pots. The containers are around 4″x4 1/2″
