Mayday Cherry is a small deciduous tree known for its early blooming and fragrant white flowers.
A favourite specimen tree on prairie homesteads, Mayday Cherry produces small black berries that are inedible to people but highly desirable to birds.
Buttonbush is a moisture loving shrub that provides year round interest.
It has round, fragrant flowers resembling small buttons or pincushions. The flowers transform into small reddish-brown fruit that persists into winter while the leaves take on shades of red in fall.
Providing essential food to bees, butterflies, and other insects, this shrub is versatile. Try it in your next shrub border.
