Clethra alnifolia

$26.00

Clethra alnifolia | sweet pepperbush

Sweet pepperbush, also known as summersweet, is a late-season blooming shrub that explodes with extremely fragrant white flowers in early August. Naturally occurring in bogs throughout the northeast, this shade-tolerant native shrub prefers moist soils, especially when grown in full sun. Reaching heights of 5-8 feet, summersweet is useful as a tall border shrub. It will spread slowly by stolons, forming large clumps, but can also be kept smaller with winter pruning. Flowers bloom on new growth. An excellent fragrant shrub for backyards and gardens.

The conservation-grade shrubs offered by our nursery are produced by a regional grower with decades of experience growing plants for conservation and restoration. These shrubs are seed propagated from wild seeds collected within ecoregion 59 (Northeastern Coastal Zone) and are regionally-adapted to growing in our area. They are genetically diverse, maintaining the same characteristics of plants growing in the wild.
