Clethra aln. 'Ruby Spice'

Clethra alnifolia, schijnels, is a medium-sized deciduous ornamental shrub with dark green ovate leaves and pink, strongly fragrant flower panicles. The schijnels do not like calcareous soil, but they do like acidic soil or neutral soil types. A spot in partial shade or shade is more than sufficient as a place, as this plant is wind resistant.
