Summersweet Bushes

Summersweet, scientifically known as Clethra alnifolia, is a deciduous shrub prized for its fragrant, bottlebrush-like flowers and attractive, glossy foliage. The blooms, which appear in mid to late summer, come in shades of white or pink and emit a sweet fragrance that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making Summersweet a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Its dense, upright form and dark green leaves create a lush backdrop, with foliage turning bright yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to your landscape. Summersweet thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. This hardy shrub is also deer-resistant and highly adaptable to various soil conditions, including wet areas, adding to its low-maintenance appeal.
