VANILLA SPICE® Summersweet
Clethra alnifolia 'Caleb' PP#21,589; CBR#4167
 
Supersized blooms! Vanilla Spice® clethra is a delightful, deer resistant native plant that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Glossy dark green leaves set off the pure white summer flowers, which emit a sweet fragrance reminscent of root beer. Selected especially for its extra large flowers - individual florets are roughly double the size of other varieties.
