Clethra alnifolia 'Einstein'

Also called summersweet, ‘Einstein’ is a delightful pollinating shrub that will attract all of your favorite visitors to your yard, including hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. This popular pollinator naturalizes easily but can be kept neat with occasional pruning and sucker removal. Clethra varieties grow wild in the eastern US from Maine to northern Florida

Clethra prefers wetter than average soil and is a great selection for rain gardens but grows well in sandy soil. Pretty forgiving when it comes to sunlight, these do best in part shade but can tolerate full sun to heavy shade.

The lush foliage features fragrant, whispy white flower spikes from mid to late summer and maintains its interest through late fall with its creamy golden hues. Arrives to you in a 3 gallon-sized pot.
