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.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
