CLETHRA ALN SUMMER SPARKLER

CLETHRA ALN SUMMER SPARKLER
Grower Notes:

Clethra alnifolia Summer Sparkler™ ('Novacleein') PP27590 is commonly referred to as Summer Sparkler™ Summersweet. It is a compact, flowering, deciduous shrub that features densely packed, fragrant flower wands bursting with tiny white flowers. The blooms twist in all directions just like summer sparks on the Fourth of July. Flowers are more prolific and twice as long as the species and attract all the pollinators. Blooms stand out against the glossy, dark green foliage that turns yellow in fall.

Summer Sparkler™ Summersweet is easy to grow and maintain. It enjoys full sun to part shade with acidic, moist, fertile soils. It can bloom in shade, but do not let the soil dry out. It is ideal for woodland areas, along streams and ponds and other naturalized, low-lying areas that stay moist.
