Description
Turn your garden into a pollinator paradise with Crimson Comet™ Button Bush, a native deciduous shrub that delivers beauty from summer through fall. Fragrant white, globe-shaped flowers bloom in summer, attracting bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators. After flowering, the blooms mature into attractive red seed heads that provide food for native songbirds, while the shrub's colorful fall foliage extends its seasonal appeal. Its upright, spreading habit makes it a standout choice for rain gardens, naturalized plantings, and wildlife landscapes.
Crimson Comet™ Button Bush thrives in full sun to partial sun and prefers moist to wet soil, making it an excellent option for low-lying areas, pond edges, and sites with poor drainage. Hardy in Zones 5 to 9, it grows 6 to 10 feet tall and wide, creating a bold landscape feature that supports local wildlife while adding year-round interest.
