Clethra alnifolia ‘Caleb’
Choose Vanilla Spice® Summersweet if you want fragrant summer flowers for a moist spot; the tradeoff is that it is not the neatest choice for tight, formal foundation rows.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The white flower spikes and fragrance carry well in summer, especially near patios, paths, or entries. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace but will not give instant mass the first season. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Pruning is usually light, mainly removing stray stems or shaping after bloom if needed. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It can work in smaller beds if given breathing room, but it is not a tight little edging plant. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It adds summer bulk and foliage but drops leaves and should not be counted on for privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for moist, partly shaded beds where customers want fragrance, native value, and pollinator activity without fussing over a formal shape.

No, but it does best with consistent moisture and struggles in dry spots.
Yes, though more sun usually means heavier flowering if moisture is available.
Yes, that is one of the better uses because the fragrance is noticeable up close.

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Good size but tree seemed to be root bound. Tree budding late August.

Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
