All About Ruby Spice Clethra - Awesome Four Season Plant - Summersweet

Ruby Spice Summersweet Clethra - Native, Flowering, Fragrant, Fall Color - In this video I plant three Ruby Spice Summersweet Clethra . It is one of my favorite plants for pollinators. The bees absolutely love these in the mid-summer. They are hardy in zones 4-9. You don't have to amend the native soil when planting.

I saw these in my local nursery. They were covered in bees. I bought 3. I cant wait until next year.

I planted “Vanilla Spice” and love it. Beautiful shape, loaded with blooms and pollinators, and not picky about its location.

Congrats on hitting 100k! You’ve grown so much since I first found your channel and I’ve learned so much as well, thanks!

I planted a Ruby Spice during shutdown because of the fact I needed something that could tolerate wetter soil and I could stand forever and breath in the wonderful fragrance!

[hobbitlady]

Just planted 4 of these and can not wait for the fragrance next year.

Great native plant very easy to grow love going in the woods .when they bloom the smell is everywhere mid
summer

[mikej]

Great native plant ! When they are in bloom perfume the woods with the sweet spicy smell. Easy to grow too! Can spread but not crazy

[basementstudio]

Just bought five of these for my shady garden here in Maryland zone 7a. Can’t wait to see the blooms.

I looked up this video as I planted 2 I got from Park seed as sticks. I potted them up and planted as about 15 inch plants. A year later they are about 3 ft just a single branch coming up and I hope they fill out a little and give me blooms this summer. Thank you, Jo

Jim, that looks like a great plant for my landscape, I'll look for one of those in the spring. I noticed that you've reached over 100K subscribers, congratulations! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and plant expertise with us. I appreciate and learn a lot from your videos.

Ended up buying one a few weeks ago! I have a slightly sloped area in the front of my house under a window (4-5ft under it) to grow a nice shrub and thought this would be nice! Part sun and shade, clay soil.

Jim, congratulations on hitting 100, 000 subscribers! That's awesome.

[sidekick]

Ok, shade it is. I was worried they wouldn’t flower as well in shade but I will give it a try. I’m an enabler and baby mine. I’m working on it though. 😬 Congrats on the 100K+!

I have one of these and the flower fragrance is wonderful.

Summer sweet is one of my favorite shrubs. I love the fragrance, and I work at a nursery and generally people can smell it from across the shrub lot, and will ask me what it is. I planted ‘Sugartina Crystalina’ behind my Koi pond as low hedge with ‘Big Blue’ Liriope by the waters edge.
