Clethra alnifolia 'Crystalina' (Sugartina®)
Sugartina® 'Crystalina' Summersweet is a dwarf, native shrub that brings beauty and fragrance to the landscape without overwhelming space. In mid-summer, it produces fragrant white flower spikes that attract butterflies and pollinators. As the season winds down, its foliage turns a warm yellow, adding vibrant fall interest.
