Sweet Button Bush

A perennial shrub that will grow well is wet areas, including shallow ponds.  Attracts bees and butterflies.

Picture
Easily grown in moist, humusy soils in full sun to part shade. Grows very well in wet soils, including flood conditions and shallow standing water. Adapts to a wide range of soils except dry ones. Pruning is usually not necessary, but may be done in early spring to shape. If plants become unmanageable, however, they may be cut back near to the ground in early spring to revitalize.
