About This Plant

A fountain of flowers and fragrance, Ripple Effect summersweet was a favorite in our trials, selected for its multiple, successively blooming, floral racemes. The fragrant white flowers bloom abundantly in summer, drawing in bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The flowers are backdropped by healthy dark green foliage, which gets a lovely blend of fall coloring in autumn. This native Clethra alnifolia has a dense, compact habit, tucking nicely into foundation plantings, mixed borders, or in pollinator or wildlife gardens.

Our Tips & Recommendations

Watering

Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, adjust watering based on your local conditions.

Soil & Planting

Plant in well-drained soil amended with compost. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth it was growing in the nursery container.
