Description

- Prefers moist acidic soil
A useful deciduous shrub for late summer and autumn colour, Clethra alnif. 'Pink Spire’ has cup-shaped pale pink flowers arranged in upright spikes about 15 cm long. Its distinctively ribbed mid-green leaves are about 10cm long. A large shrub which can reach a height and spread of 2.5 metres, place Clethra alnif. 'Pink Spire’ at the back of the shrub border or in a woodland setting.
Clethra alnif. 'Pink Spire’ likes to grow in moist acidic soil and can tolerate shady conditions. Because it flowers at a time when other acid-loving plants have finished flowering, it is a good shrub to plant alongside camellias, azaleas and rhododendrons.
How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant out.
Can’t plant straight away?
Place in a sheltered spot and water regularly to keep the compost moist.
Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant’s rootball. If your soil is heavy mix in a soil improver before backfilling. Firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
Water shrubs regularly in the first year after planting and in dry periods
