Clethra alnifolia ‘Hummingbird’ is a compact and highly fragrant native shrub, perfect for adding beauty and pollinator interest to smaller gardens or shaded spaces. In mid to late summer, it produces abundant upright spikes of delicate white flowers that release a sweet, spicy fragrance, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its dense, glossy dark green foliage provides a lush backdrop throughout the season before turning a brilliant golden-yellow in fall, adding seasonal interest. Adaptable and easy to grow, ‘Hummingbird’ thrives in both sun and partial shade, especially in moist soils, and forms a tidy, rounded shape that can gently spread to create attractive, naturalized groupings.
