Silver Button Wood (Conocarpus erectus) is a versatile shrub or small tree known for its silvery-gray foliage and dense, button-like flower clusters. Typically reaching 10 to 20 feet in height, it thrives in USDA zones 10-11 and is well-suited for coastal and tropical climates. This plant is ideal for landscaping as a hedge, windbreak, or ornamental specimen, offering excellent salt tolerance and drought resistance. Fun fact: Silver Button Wood is often used in coastal restoration projects due to its ability to stabilize soil and withstand harsh conditions. Its unique texture and color add a distinctive touch to any garden.
