Clethra (Summersweet, Sweet Pepperbush) We grow a plethora of clethra. One of our favorite native genera, although there are foreign members as well and we like them, too. All are deciduous shrubs to small trees with panicles of white (usually) flowers in Summer, sometimes extremely fragrant. Some species have beautiful peeling bark on older stems. Zones 4-9.
