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

Magical Moonlight Buttonbush (Cephalanthus ‘Magical Moonlight’) is a deciduous ornamental flowering shrub valued for its unusual globe-shaped blossoms and intensely sweet fragrance. During midsummer, this distinctive shrub produces pale pinkish-white flower clusters that resemble small spheres, creating an eye-catching floral display against its green foliage.

The rounded flowers feature numerous projecting floral parts that give each bloom a delicate, textured appearance. Their fragrance and nectar attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects, making Magical Moonlight an appealing choice for pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its ornamental flowers also provide seasonal interest in mixed shrub borders, rain gardens, and waterside plantings.

Supplied as one live Magical Moonlight Buttonbush in a 3 gallon nursery pot, this specimen measures approximately 15 inches tall at the time of shipping. Buttonbush generally grows well in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist soil. Its distinctive flowers and attractive branching habit make it suitable for ornamental gardens and landscapes with reliable soil moisture.
