Plant profile: Clethra

This week on The Horti-Culturalists we're back on Stephen's driveway looking more closely at a shrub that we didn't have time to linger over on our driveway epic here:    • A year along Stephen's nursery driveway!  
And that is Clethra! So we'll look at Stephen's Clethra fargesii in all it's summer glory and then in it's winter nakedness to prove that Stephen was right to compare the bark to that of a Lagerstroemia! (Or not!)
We also take a look at Clethra pringlei.
And if you'd like to see our video that features Clethra arborea you can here:    • Garden Tour: historic, rare and unusu...
