The fragrant blooms are attractive to a wide array of pollinators including butterflies. A mature Buttonbush is a handsome ornamental shrub. Resembling a small leaning tree, it grows up to 15 feet on a twisted trunk with many branches and an irregular crown. Indigenous to open wet areas and low woods, Buttonbush is easily grown in moist or wet soils, including areas that experience flooding, making it a good candidate for the rain garden.

Waterfowl and shorebirds eat the seeds, and Wood ducks use the plant’s structure for protection of brooding nests. It is a useful for erosion control or stream bank stabilization, as well. Several silkmoths, the Beautiful Wood-Nymph, and other Lepidoptera are known to use Buttonbush as a host plant.

If plants become unmanageable, they can be cut back near to the ground in early.spring to revitalize.
