Butterfly magnet
A fabulous shrub for wildlife and perfect for containers or borders is this stunning Cephalanthus or 'Button Bush'. It produces nectar rich flowers loved by bees and butterflies. Its show stopping, perfectly round, globular flowers are actually many tiny tubular flowers, which are heavily scented. In autumn, the flowers turn into small fruits, which are packed with seeds that wild birds will feast on. They prefer acidic soil, so add ericaceous compost when planting. Limited availability.
