Clethra Alnifolia ‘Anne Bidwell’

A distinctive variety – Clethra alnifolia ‘Anne Bidwell’ doesn’t bear just one, single flower spike at the ends of shoot tips but produces them in generous clusters. This suckering shrub produces an abundance of clove-scented, erect white flower spikes in late summer above a dense bush of glossy, toothed leaves. The fragrant flowers are irresistible to pollinators, especially butterflies. They are followed by dark brown fruits which often persist through winter. A valuable shrub for shady woodland borders in acid soil where it will flower abundantly in part shade. The leaves often turn intense shades of yellow in autumn. Height and spread: 1.5–2.5 metres (5-8ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
