Clethra alnifolia 'Hummingbird'
Hummingbird Clethra (Summersweet Clethra)
This easy-to-grow shrub has 4-6" long fragrant, white flowers that look like a narrow bottlebrush. The sweetly fragrant, nectar producing flowers attract many pollinators, including butterflies.
It is an excellent addition to shade or woodland gardens and can be planted in moist soils along stream or pond banks. It works well for naturalizing in cottage gardens or naturalized areas. Plant near a patio to enjoy the fragrant late summer bloom. Its compact size makes this an ideal flowering shrub for smaller gardens.
