You are bidding on about 30 COMPACT SWEET PEPPERBUSH SEEDS -Clethra alnifolia 'Compacta' Commonly called summersweet, is a deciduous shrub that is native to swampy woodlands, wet marshes, stream banks and seashores, often in sandy soils, along the coast from Maine to Florida and west to Texas. Compacta' is an aptly named cultivar that remains shorter than the species and doesn't form as broad a mass. It has darker, glossier leaves that turn yellow in fall and a more compact, denser growth habit than other Clethra alnifolia cultivars. In summer it has upright, candle-like, 6-inch-long white flower spires that are sweetly fragrant. While the flowers look beautiful, the spicy, sweet scent of Clethra is its real draw for humans and a massive profusion of pollinating insects . Before the proliferation of lighthouses, many sailors knew this plant as "sailors' delight:" when the winds were right, they could often smell Clethra in bloom before they saw land. Zone: 4 to 9 Height: 3.00 to 4.00 feet Spread: 3.00 to 4.00 feet Bloom Time: July to August Bloom Description: Creamy white Medicinal use of Sweet Pepper Bush: None known Other uses : The stalk of the blossom is used as a soap substitute.
