You will receive a live, North American native Button Bush plant start in a 2.5 inch pot. This plant will grow into a shrub or small tree and is an excellent addition to the woody native plant garden. Its flowers provide nectar, its leaves provide food to many species of moth larvae (and deer!), its seeds provide food for birds, and the plant as a whole provides cover for many species. Tolerant of wet soils and is excellent for erosion control. These plants are grown with minimal winter protection in USDA Hardiness Zone 6B, and may be semi- to fully dormant if ordered between October-April. Late winter and early spring are prime times to plant dormant woody perennials!
