Fiber Optics Button Bush is a native multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a compact rounded habit and unusual round flower clusters resembling pincushions. The foliage emerges red or copper and matures to a glossy dark green before turning copper again in fall. glossy serrated green leaves. The highly fragrant pincushion flower clusters are dove white and bloom in summer, followed by red red-brown fruits that last through winter. Prefers rich, moist to wet and well-drained soils.
Cephalanthus occidentalis is an excellent native replacement for butterfly bushes, and acts as a host plant for several types of butterflies and attractive moths. It also provides late season seeds and nesting areas for birds.
