Common Name: Sixteen Candles Summersweet Clethra
Selected from a group of seedlings in Michael Dirr's garden for its compactness and erect flower structures, "just like the candles on a birthday cake." After 7 years this selection is only 30" high and 42" wide. The glossy green leaves set off the glowing white plumes, 4 to 6 " long. The blooms open in late June or early July and maintain their elegance over a long bloom period.
