CepCephalanthus occidentalis Magical® Moonlight (‘Kolmoon’)

CepCephalanthus occidentalis Magical® Moonlight (‘Kolmoon’)

Cephalanthus occidentalis Magical® Moonlight (‘Kolmoon’) - Magical® Moonlight buttonbush 

This cultivar of the eastern native buttonbush retains all the adaptability of the species but its size makes it more garden friendly. It takes on a round to mounded shape reaching five to six feet tall and four to six feet wide. The round pincushion flowers draw hummingbirds, butterflies and other fliers in late spring, then give way to fruits that feed birds. It loves wet soil, yet it will adapt to a dry site. Provide full to part sun. Zones 5–9.
