Description

The Silver Buttonwood is a hardy native shrub admired for its soft, silvery-green foliage that shimmers in sunlight. Perfect for Florida’s coastal settings, it thrives in sandy soils and tolerates salt spray and wind with ease. Often planted as a hedge, screen, or specimen, it provides striking contrast in landscapes with its unique color and texture. Drought-tolerant once established, Silver Buttonwood requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional pruning, making it both functional and ornamental in coastal and inland gardens.
