Sixteen Candles SummersweetSixteen Candles Summersweet is a compact native shrub prized for its upright white flower spikes, sweet fragrance, and excellent pollinator appeal. Unlike older Clethra varieties that can appear loose or sprawling, Sixteen Candles features a more upright, refined habit that fits beautifully into foundation plantings and smaller landscapes. Blooming in mid to late summer, it provides fragrance and color when many shrubs have finished flowering. Key
