Deer Resistance and Versatility
Ruby Spice Summersweet (Clethra alnifolia 'Ruby Spice') is a compact, fragrant shrub ideal for smaller spaces and waterside gardens. Its strong, sweet scent and vibrant blooms make it a perfect choice for decorative hedges, naturalized areas, woodland settings, and along ponds or streams. They can be planted in groups of three or five to create professional-looking garden.
Fragrant, Pollinator-Friendly Blooms
Ruby Spice Summersweet features intensely fragrant rose-pink blooms that are a first for flowering Clethra. These 2-4" wands appear on a 4-6' bush for many weeks in mid to late summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. It’s an excellent addition to any garden looking to support local wildlife.
Multi-Season Interest
In addition to its summer blooms, Ruby Spice Summersweet offers beautiful fall foliage. Its mid-green leaves turn shades of rich golden brown in the fall, providing year-round visual interest.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Ruby Spice Summersweet thrives in humus-enriched, moisture-retentive, organic soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. This versatile shrub excels in a variety of garden settings, adding year-round fragrance and vibrant color to your landscape. Best grown in zones 4 – 9
