CLETHRA alnifolia 'Sherry Sue'

Hybridized/Introduced By: Thayer Dodd, Dodd and Dodd Nursery (Semmes, AL)

Description: Nick-named Red stem Clethra because the new stems are bright pinkish-red. 'Sherry Sue' is a vigorous upright-growing selection found on the Gulf Coast. Leaves are especially glossy and bright apple green. Very late white flowers start in early September. It loses leaves later than other forms and may even stay evergreen in mild winters in the south.
