Thompson & Morgan Clethra Alnifolia Vanilla Spice 3 Litre Potted Plant X 1
Description
Clethra alnifolia ‘Vanilla Spice’ is a delightful flowering shrub that thrives in shady, moist borders with acidic soil. Its abundant flowers emit a sweet clove scent that attracts pollinators, making it a valuable addition to any garden. While it tolerates full sun if the soil remains consistently moist, it particularly excels in part shade. This adaptable plant forms a compact, deciduous shrub with dark green, glossy leaves that often turn yellow in autumn. From mid-summer to autumn, it produces numerous racemes of exceptionally large white flowers, each measuring 10-12 inches long. These fragrant blooms are irresistible to bees and other beneficial pollinators. Following the flowers, dark brown fruits appear, often persisting through winter. With a height and spread of 1.5–2.5 meters (5-8 feet), Clethra alnifolia ‘Vanilla Spice’ adds beauty and fragrance to gardens of various sizes.
