Discover the beauty and fragrance of Clethra alnifolia 'Hummingbird' - a compact and slowly spreading deciduous shrub featuring bottlebrush spikes of incredibly fragrant white flowers that bloom for 4-6 weeks in later summer. Not just aesthetically pleasing, these flowers open from bottom to top, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, offering them a striking choice of nectar during a season where choices are sparse. Following the blooming season, the plant generates eye-catching dark brown fruits which persist into winter, maintaining interest and adding to its charm. The lush and glossy dark green foliage morphs into a stunning golden-yellow in fall, further enhancing the plant's visual appeal. The 'Hummingbird' is particularly renowned for its ability to produce exceptional flowers even in shady locations, making it a preferred Summersweet cultivar. It surpasses the species in its compactness and flower production capability. A reliable shrub originating from coastal Maine to north Florida and then west to the eastern edge of Texas, the 'Hummingbird' Summersweet adds beauty and fragrance to any landscape.
