Magical Moonlight Buttonbush 1 Live Plant – Cephalanthus ‘Magical Moonlight’ – 3 Gallon Pot – 15″

Magical Moonlight Buttonbush (Cephalanthus ‘Magical Moonlight’) is a deciduous ornamental flowering shrub admired for its unusual, spherical flower clusters and intensely sweet fragrance. During midsummer, the plant produces pale pinkish-white blossoms arranged in rounded, button-like clusters that create a distinctive display against its green foliage.

The globe-shaped flowers give this shrub an architectural appearance and provide seasonal interest in mixed borders, ornamental landscapes, and pollinator-friendly gardens. Buttonbush flowers are known for attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects. The fragrant blooms make Magical Moonlight particularly appealing for planting near garden paths, outdoor seating areas, and other locations where its flowers can be appreciated.

Supplied as one live Magical Moonlight Buttonbush in a 3 gallon nursery pot, this plant measures approximately 15 inches tall at the time of shipping. Buttonbush generally prefers full sun to partial shade and moist soil, making it suitable for rain gardens, waterside landscapes, and garden areas that retain consistent moisture.
