Bottlebrush-like spikes of white flowers fill the late summer air with a sweet, spicy fragrance. This native shrub features glossy dark green leaves that turn a striking golden-yellow in autumn.

Plant Summer Sweet in well-drained, acidic soil with full to partial sun exposure. Space plants 3-5 feet apart. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Protect from harsh winds and extreme temperatures.
