Fragrant White Blooms Meet Compact Growth
Why Summersweet Clethra Shrubs?
Also known as Hummingbird Summersweet, this shrub produces fragrant, white blooms that merge with the promise of richly-hued green growth, delivering contrast that's second to none. And this deciduous favorite lives up to its name, attracting graceful wildlife that gives you the most elegant yard on the block.
From mixed borders along your driveway to perennial plantings in your flower beds, the Summersweet stands out...even in wet, swamp-like areas. Unlike similar ornamental varieties, the Summersweet stands up to tough conditions, thriving in a compact growth habit that's well-suited to tight spaces, poor soil conditions and even cold fronts down to -20 degrees. That means you get summertime flowers and vivid autumnal colors for a show that lasts nearly year-round.

Shipped Well
The three plants arrived well, about 6” tall, with leaves and good roots. A week later, they are thriving, even with high heat. I’m looking forward to see them fill out and add beautiful color to my front flower bed.
Small and healthy, potted in deep 1 qt containers
Five healthy plants with lots of new growth arrived today. I appreciate the availability of quart-sized plants, so I can dig them in around the roots of a large hickory tree (which is limbed high, so there’s plenty of light).
healthy
Small but healthy! look forward to seeing them fill in a large bed.
So far, So good!
Although pretty small, the plants arrived looking great. They've been in the ground for a week now and are still looking strong.
