A spreading, aquatic shrub or sometimes small tree with many branches, and irregular crown, Buttonbush can form dense thickets 3-12′ tall. This species is used in streambank stabilization and in upper and lower shoreline zones. It is a nice landscape plant if allowed to be aggressive and soil moisture is maintained. Buttonbush is also a good plant for wetland restorations, especially in flood plain forests, meadows, thickets and stream banks.
