The deepest, richest pink flowers to be found among the clethras. They are arranged in abundant spikes that rise above the glossy deep green foliage in late summer. Delicious spicy-sweet fragrance. Wet soil and shade tolerant. Yellow fall color.

Sweetly scented deep pink flowers that are loved by the humble bumble bees and gardeners alike. Clethra seemed to be underutilized in the Northwest. 4-6' shrub

A new arrival for the Clethra family!, this 4-6' shrub produces its richer pink (but just as fragrant!) flowers in late summer. Sun-PSh/Med-Wet
