Its bright white, fragrant flower spikes rise above the foliage in mid to late summer—right when most landscapes need a boost. With a tighter, more vertical habit than other clethra varieties, it’s perfect for foundation plantings, borders, and smaller spaces. ‘Sixteen Candles’ thrives in sun to part shade, handles moist or poorly drained soils with ease, and attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Low maintenance and highly versatile, it’s an excellent choice for adding fragrance and reliable performance to any landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutA\" id=\"pageSummary\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore About Clethra alnifolia ‘Sixteen Candles’\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\u003eMore upright and tighter than other Summersweet varieties\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: 3-5 Feet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 2-4 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 ‘Sixteen Candles’ 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.
