Fragrant Flowers and Foliage That Thrives Anywhere
The Vanilla Spice® Summersweet Clethra brings elegance and fragrance to your landscape. Its pure white blooms blossom mid-summer, filling the air with a delightful cherry vanilla scent that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. The extra-large florets—double the size of typical varieties—create a bold and showy display, making it a standout feature near patios or garden pathways.
This deer-resistant native shrub is practical and beautiful. Glossy green foliage provides a lush backdrop for the blooms and transforms into vibrant yellow in the fall, adding multi-season appeal. It thrives in sun, part sun, or even full shade, making it one of the best shrubs for challenging spots in your garden.
Low maintenance and naturally resistant to pests, this shrub offers effortless beauty while supporting pollinators and enhancing your outdoor space. Add year-round charm and a sweet fragrance to your garden with the Vanilla Spice® Summersweet Clethra. Order yours today!
