VANILLA SPICE SUMMERSWEET
This shrub has attractive glossy, dark green leaves and extra large pure white flowers that are very fragrant and a magnet for butterflies. 'Vanilla Spice' offers a wonderful fragrance during the late summer months. The show begins in late summer and continues through the first part of fall. It definitely belongs in the front of the shrub border and is even compact enough for containers! It may need some wind protection in the coldest areas of the garden. Clethra prefers moist locations in partial shade, but will take full sun.

DOUBLE BRIDLEWREATH SPIREA
Although this is not a new introduction for 2010, it is however a hard to find shrub not readily available at most garden centers. We managed to locate a few for this season.
Pure white double flowers resembling roses cover this shrub in June. Not as hardy as the regular Bridlewreath and should be planted in a protected spot in the garden, definite choice for collectors of the unusual & hard to find.
