'Ruby Spice' is a truly special clethra, with the best pink flowers you'll find on the species. Deep reddish-pink flowers don't fade to white, and their fragrance attracts butterflies to the summer garden. This deer resistant native plant has nice yellow fall foliage, too. A great choice for woodland gardens, wet marshes, stream banks, and seashores. This shrub grows well as a hedge, planted as groupings and or borders.
