Cephalanthus occidentalis 'Sugar Shack'® (Buttonbush)

Cephalanthus occidentalis ‘Sugar Shack’® – Buttonbush

‘Sugar Shack’® is a compact selection of native buttonbush, offering the distinctive flowers and wildlife value of the species in a smaller size. Fragrant, spherical white flowers appear in summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

As the flowers fade, rounded red fruit develops for additional late-season interest. Glossy green foliage and a naturally compact habit make it especially useful for rain gardens, pond edges, wet areas, mixed borders, and smaller native plantings.
