Clethra alnifolia.

Description

Also known as 'Summersweet' this lovely medium sized shrub is perfect for bringing late summer colour to the garden.
Producing an abundance of pink, bottlebrush flowers in late summer and autumn. Not only do the flowers look incredible bursting from the glossy deep-green foliage, but they also bear a mesmerising sweet fragrance that is highly attractive to butterflies, bees and other beneficial pollinators and garden visitors. Your garden will be buzzing with life throughout summer!
Clethra are very easy to grow and maintain and is both happy in full sun but will also tolerate full shade so it's a great choice for those awkward shady corners. It prefers acidic soil so we recommend incorporating plenty of peat or ericaceous compost for best results, especially when growing in a container.
Easy to care for needing just an occasional light trim to shape, these are trouble free but offering big rewards!
