Summersweet
SKU: CASS01-SS
$35.00Price

Pollinator value: Very High. Hummingbirds, butterflies, beetles, wasps, flies, native bees; the attraction creates what William Cullina describes as "a buzzing cacophony of tiny wings."
A good garden shrub, Summersweet is a fast grower, taking on up to 24 inches in a season. It likes to form thickets but spreads slowly and is easily controlled in a moist, partly sunny garden.
Its deep green leaves contrast beautifully against spikes of white flowers.
