Description
Clethra alnifolia also commonly known as summersweet, is a unique flowering shrub. Clethra Ruby Spice prefers part shade and consistently moist, acidic soil and sandy soil (although should never fully dry out). A great choice for woodland gardens, wet marshes, stream banks, and seashores. This shrub grows well as a hedge, planted as groupings and or borders. Clethra will naturalize over time, removing root suckers will limit growth unless that is the desired look. Native to swampy woodlands, wetlands and along river banks. Rose pink blooms in late summer. Grows to be roughly 4 to 6 feet and blooms mid-summer to late summer. It produces a lovely fragrance that butterflies and bees love.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
