Common name sweet pepperbush Family clethraceae Life cycle shrub (Z3-9) Flowers white (July-August) Size 2-4' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes moist soil, prefers part shade Smaller version of the species, with fragrant white spires in summer. Blooms on new growth. In the two full seasons this has lived in our garden, I've not noticed any flowers - maybe because it's in a corner where I don't venture much when the side garden is overrun by lush growth in early summer. But I like the glossy dark green leaves, too.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: side garden
