Cephalanthus occidentalis is commonly referred to as the Common Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells or Honey Balls. It is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a rounded habit with a height of 6-7 feet and spread of 4-5 feet. It features white, tubular, fragrant flowers that appear in spherical, long-stalked flower heads in early to midsummer and are attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies and other insect pollinators.
Common Buttonbush is often used in wetland restoration projects along streams, pond banks and low areas. It thrives in full to part sun in moist, humusy soils. It can grow well in wet soils including shallow standing water. It can adapt to dryer conditions.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location in partial to full shade. This species is an excellent, deer-resistant choice for shadier areas of the landscape where other evergreens might struggle. While it is adaptable to various soil conditions, provide consistent water during the first growing season to ensure the root system is well established. Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to shape or maintain size, though its naturally slow-growing, elegant habit often requires minimal intervention.
