Crimson Comet Buttonbush 1 Live Shrub – Cephalanthus occidentalis ‘Crimson Comet’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Crimson Comet Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis ‘Crimson Comet’) is a deciduous ornamental flowering shrub known for its distinctive spherical flowers and colorful seasonal fruiting heads. In late spring, this buttonbush produces fragrant white blooms with projecting floral parts that create a satellite-like appearance. The unusual flower clusters provide texture and visual interest in naturalistic gardens and ornamental landscapes.

Following flowering, the rounded clusters develop into attractive red fruiting heads that add another layer of seasonal color. The fragrant, nectar-producing blossoms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making Crimson Comet Buttonbush particularly suitable for pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and wildlife-oriented landscapes.

Supplied as one live Crimson Comet Buttonbush in a 3 gallon nursery pot, this shrub generally grows well in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist soil. Buttonbush is especially useful in landscapes where moisture is readily available, including waterside borders and rain garden plantings.
