Sugar Shack 2.0 buttonbush is a compact powerhouse that packs a punch in both flowers and fall color. Reaching just four feet tall and wide, it’s perfect for tight spots while still putting on a show. Its spherical blooms attract pollinators, and the resulting round seedheads delight visiting birds (and gardeners alike). Tough as nails, Sugar Shack 2.0 thrives in high heat, standing water, and even deer-friendly areas. Come fall, both the seedheads and foliage light up with fabulous color, turning this whimsical shrub into a seasonal spectacle. Whether you’re feeding wildlife or adding charm to a small space, Sugar Shack 2.0 buttonbush is ready to impress.

Healthy and hearty

I misread the size (didn’t notice the “ mark & thought it would be bigger: 4.5 quart.)🤣
So I’ve placed it in a container for now.
But it looks healthy and is exactly the improved smaller Buttonbush I was looking for. Thanks. Excited to watch it take off.

Cute as a button(bush)

Sturdy lively little shrub with lots of green growth still in late September. Arrived well packed with all the soil contained to the pot. Just got it planted in the ground and have high hopes for next year. Looks like it will do well here.

Thank you for your review! 😊🌻

The plants were packaged well, soil was moist and were very bushy and green. I planted immediately and a week later already have the tiniest little buds forming. I'm SO excited for this new cultivar of our native button bush!

The plant arrived in a nice box

The plant arrived in a nice box. The delivery time and process is what I expected. But when I opened the plant a number of leaves, including one big one fell off. The plant is still OK as far as I can see, but time will tell if the loss of leaves causes it not to thrive. Maybe this was spelled out in the contract. But i must say I got a plant from another company where the packing was different and it was fully intact.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the leaf loss. Please send us photos at HelpDesk@ProvenWinnersDirect.com so we can assist you further.😊🌺
