Summer is sweet, and so is the Clethra!

Posted on August 7, 2014 by RutgersLN

Looking to spice up your landscape?  Summersweet Clethra (Clethra alnifolia) is a fantastic shrub to consider. Also called Sweet Pepperbush, Summersweet Clethera boasts lasting blooms throughout July and August that will fill your yard with a spicy sweet aroma that is nothing short of sensational!

Clethra prefers acidic, moist, well-drained soil; can handle full to dappled sun; and grows 4-6 feet tall and wide.  This is an excellent plant to encourage pollinators into your garden, especially hummingbirds and butterflies.
We carry both white and pink varieties. Come in and experience them in full bloom. They’re sure to satisfy your senses!
