I am thinking about purchasing a flowering shrub commonly known as summersweet - Clethra alnifolia 'Ruby Spice'.
Does it make a good cut flower?

Thanks

Hi soilsandup, I still don't recognise the flowers!! They are lovely! I guess you will just have to grow them and see how long they last when cut. LoL!
