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.

So far so good
I ordered 3 bushes. They all arrived in great shape and continue to seem “happy”. Hoping to get them in the ground soon.
The perfect solution
The Summersweet Clethra was the perfect plant for the area on our yard with poor drainage. It is thriving from all of this springs rains.
Summer sweet shrubs
3 out of 4 doing great, one is slow to leaf out but is still green and growing.
So far so good.
My plant came as expected and in good shape. Several new green leaves budding on its branches. I let it acclimate for a couple days before putting it in the ground. I’m hoping it will have a good first growing season and have blooms next spring for us.
Great Quality Plants!
My clethera bushes arrived green and healthy. Shipping was fast, and they were well packed. Would order again.
