(70,593 posts)Cephalanthus occidentalis .... a great native wetland plant. Good for pollinators, butterflies, and birds.

(1,340 posts)A very good species for pollinators.
It deserves much better than being associated with the tRump virus.

(22,898 posts)I've been gradually replacing all my non-native plants with natives of the Virginia Piedmont, where I live. They support insects which are essential when birds feed their nestlings.
Botany
(70,593 posts)Plant 2 ... better fruit set. Great Fall color with the fruits and leaves. Good for all
kinds of local/native critters.
