About Buttonsage

Buttonsage is a real treasure for any Florida garden. This native shrub attracts butterflies, bees, and birds with its delicate flowers and berries. The blooms are charming little clusters that seem to float on the branches, and they bloom nearly year-round in our warm climate. It's one of those plants that brings your garden to life with activity and color without demanding much fuss from you.

Growing buttonsage is wonderfully simple. Plant it where it gets good sunlight and let nature mostly do the work. It's tough, forgiving, and doesn't need constant attention or special feeding. A little water while it's getting established is all you really need. Once it settles in, this hardy native will reward you with years of beauty and wildlife visitors.
