This hardy, low-maintenance shrub thrives in sun to part shade and performs exceptionally well in moist or wet soils, making it perfect for foundation plantings, rain gardens, and naturalized areas. ‘Ruby Spice’ attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while its rich green foliage turns a soft yellow in fall for added seasonal interest. A great choice for tough spots, it delivers color, fragrance, and reliability year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutA\" id=\"pageSummary\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore About Clethra alnifolia ‘Ruby Spice’\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow Maintenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAttracts pollinators\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrives in wet soils\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRain garden, ponds, woodlands edge, foundations, low hedge\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeer resistant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMay spread through suckers over time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlow to moderate growth rate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-6 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-6 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eClethra alnifolia ‘Ruby Spice’ Characteristics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eExposure\u003c\/span\u003e: Full sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/span\u003e Late summer to fall\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoil Moisture\u003c\/span\u003e: Wet to average soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAttributes\u003c\/span\u003e: Compact, upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFoliage Color\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eGreen that turns golden yellow in fall\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/span\u003e After planting, keeping soil moist is crucial.
