Summersweet - Vanilla Spice
Summersweet Vanilla Spice, Clethra 'Vanilla Spice™', has attractive glossy, dark green leaves. Its extra large pure white flowers are very fragrant and act as a magnet for butterflies. Each flower is roughly the size of a dime and about twice the size of any other Clethra. 'Vanilla Spice' offers a wonderful fragrance during the late summer months. It puts on a beautiful show that begins in late summer in most climates and continues through the first part of fall, ceasing only when the temperature really drops. This Clethra 'Vanilla Spice' belongs in the front of the shrub border, the foundation, or as a hedge in any sun-soaked part of the garden. It is even compact enough for containers! It may need some wind protection in coldest areas. Remarkably tolerant of a variety of conditions, including roadsides and seashores. It prefers moist locations in partial shade, but will take full sun. If necessary, prune in early spring. * Remarkably tolerant * Fragrant * Attracts butterflies
