I love this arrangement in the Clubhouse. Clethra is one of my favorite shrubs with its very fragrant blooms. It is one of those smells that define summertime! We’ve added a lot of Clethra around the campus over the last few years. I’ve never seen anything quite like this. Clethra is commonly known as summersweet or sweet pepper bush. If you are looking for an indestructible deciduous shrub, you need to give this a try. The only downside I’ve seen, is it takes a long time to get its leaves in spring. It will also attract a lot of bumble bees when in flower.
