Sugar Shack Buttonbush is a native multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a compact rounded habit. Sweetly fragrant white flower clusters resembling pincushions bloom in summer and leave behind bright red golf ball-like fruit clusters. The glossy dark green foliage emerges bright green and turns burgundy in fall. Prefers rich, moist to wet and well-drained soils.
