Reviews

I did a lot of research for my rain garden and chose 3 Sugartina Clethra. They arrived in great shape, only one had a few broken twigs, and we planted them in the front of the new rain garden. They are thriving and soon will be blooming as they have lots of long white buds. Can’t wait to watch them mature!

Last summer while walking through a local garden center I came across this shrub in full bloom and it was LOADED with butterflies & bees. Needless to I bought it!
