Found on Shiko Island, Japan by Takeda Hisayoshi and son, this variation on the lovely and trouble-free Clethra theme has extreme pink, white, and green variegation in spring. By midsummer, the leaves turn green to form the backdrop for beautifully arching and lightly fragrant spikes of white in July and August. Fall color is a gentle gold with pink and purple accents, winter reveals the elegant upright form. With age, marvelous bark develops - polished mahogany-red dramatically mottled with white, an impressionist's palette. Butterflies delight in it, too.
Grows best in part sun, with regular water. Blooms on new wood, best pruned in late winter.
Mature size: 6 feet T & W in 10 yrs; eventually 10-15 ft T x W
