Description

Sugartina Crystalina Clethra is a stunning, compact shrub that produces clusters of gorgeous, fragrant white flower spikes in mid to late summer.

Known to attract butterflies, this variety remains beautifully contained, making it a showstopper in smaller landscapes and an inspiring accent in larger plantings.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in partial shade to full sun, needing at least 4–6 hours of direct light for its finest floral performance.
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, water as needed during prolonged dry periods.
  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch assists in retaining moisture and moderating soil temperatures; leave a small gap around the stems for airflow.
  • Pruning: If needed, prune in late winter or early spring to maintain a neat shape, removing any damaged branches and preserving a fresh, elegant silhouette.

Sugartina Crystalina Clethra brings a grand sense of elegance to Michigan landscapes with its fragrant blooms, compact habit, and satisfying seasonal interest. Its versatility, paired with minimal maintenance, makes it a refreshing favorite for a variety of outdoor spaces.
