Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews

Aptly named the Buttonbush, this deciduous shrub produces masses of ball shaped, creamy white blooms throughout summer. Butterflies love the fragrant flowers and birds flock to eat the seeds that follow. Specially trained as a standard with a head of glossy foliage, this unusual shrub will create a spectacular feature for patios, balconies, and borders. Height supplied 40-50cm (16-20").

Caution: Harmful if eaten. Choose a sunny position in a damp border or bog garden. Ideally, Cephalanthus prefers a fertile, neutral to acid soil which remains reliably moist. If your soil is alkaline then it is best grown in a container. When growing in patio containers, use a mix of soil based compost such as John Innes No. 3 and ericaceous compost. Repot the shrub at its original soil level and position in full sun.

Feed and water container grown plants frequently. Where possible, use rainwater as the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil over time. As Cephalanthus increases in size it will require repotting into increasingly larger pots.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
