Pollinator Tip of the Month

Clethra alnifolia (Sweet Pepperbush, Summersweet)
A deciduous, upright, multi-stemmed native shrub that grows 6-12’ high in full sun to full shade in average to wet, well-drained soil. Blooming in July and August, the fragrant flowers and nectar attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Their seeds are eaten by birds and mammals through fall/winter. Useful as a garden plant, shrub border, or foundation plant when pruned to size. Tolerates drought but its adaptability to wet areas makes it a good plant for low spots, rain gardens and stream banks.
A very versatile plant to add to your garden!
