Larger in final height than our other selections. Interesting new leaf

earlier. Easy to grow.

Great for fresh and dried arrangements, a staple of the
floral
industry. Rather rampant so a poor spot will keep it in check. We will send you
5 plants to insure pollination.

Clethera barbinervis, JAPANESE CLETHERA, Z 5,6,7, Bfly/Brk
Mature height - 15'X6', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh,
Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - Eastern US
Grown as much for its bark as its fragrant flowers. Needs
good organic-laden soil, and better is shade in hotter areas.


Clethera acuminata, CINNAMON CLETHERA, Z 5,6,7,8,
Bfly/Brk
Mature height - 8'X6', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh,
Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - Eastern US
A collectors native that proves adaptable to conditions and adds peeling
bark and attractive white flowers. Flowers not as fragrant as 'alnifolia'
selections but rather showy long strings of white. As it matures we appreciate
the bark more and more. Couldn't confirm that they were native or perhaps
introduced at a State Park we stayed at in Central WV. The plants without leaves
were a standout in early Spring without leaves. Reminded me of a Crepe Myrtle or
Paper Bark Maple.
