Clethra alnifolia 'Hummingbird'
Clethra alnifolia 'Hummingbird' is a compact and charming deciduous shrub tailored for smaller garden spaces. It stands out with fragrant creamy-white to pink summer blossoms that not only delight the eye but also draw in pollinators like bees and butterflies. Measuring in at a modest 3 to 4 feet in height with a similar spread, it is ideally suited for borders, small gardens, or even container planting. Its dark green serrated leaves provide an attractive backdrop, and in the fall, they transform into vibrant shades of yellow, adding seasonal interest. 'Hummingbird' is an adaptable and visually appealing addition, offering both aesthetic and ecological value to outdoor spaces.
