Compact, dwarf version of buttonbush shrub. Features fragrant, spherical white flowers in summer, then ornamental red fruits that persist into fall and winter. Its smaller size and multi-season interest make it suitable for a wider variety of landscape settings. The fragrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators. Seeds provide food and it is a host plant for moth caterpillars.
