Buttonbush: The Overlooked Star of Autumn Gardens.

Buttonbush is a great plant for your garden because it helps wildlife and looks nice. It blooms late but makes up for it with unique white flowers that look like little satellites.

This plant is found naturally near water and in forests in North and Central America. Many animals rely on buttonbush for food, including birds, bees, and even beavers.

Buttonbush is easy to grow in zones 5 through 9, tolerates different light levels, and prefers moist soil. It's a good alternative to the invasive butterfly bush, which can harm native plants.

The flowers turn into red berries that last through winter and provide food for birds. Buttonbush can grow quite tall, but you can prune it to manage its size and shape.

If you have a small garden, there are smaller types of buttonbush available. With its beautiful flowers and helpful nature, buttonbush is a wonderful addition to any garden.
