This plant is also known as Button Willow. It is a perennial, deciduous shrub that usually grows 6 to 12 feet tall and has a twisting trunk and crooked branches. Small, white flowers grow to form a distinctive, dense, spherical cluster with protruding pistils, and the fruits are brown and button-like in appearance. This shrub grows in partial to full shade, and in a variety of moist to wet soils including loam, clay, limestone, and sandy soils. The flowers and fruits attract many pollinators and birds.
