Buttonbush (Common Button Bush) - Cephalanthus occidentalis

The white, spherical globes of the Buttonbush may look more like a science project than a flower, but these carefully-crafted-by-nature blooms attract the eye along with birds and butterflies. Buttonbush is a USA native wildflower that commonly beautifies stream banks, marshes, and meadows. Ducks and other water birds enjoy consuming the seeds. Buttonbush is a perennial that flowers from June to September and goes dormant in the winter.
