  • Question

    I bought this plant at the Northampton plant sale about four years ago. It was listed as a Japanese Clethra. It is a shrub with two main branches and many side branches, and is now about six feet high. It has not flowered. I was wondering if it was mislabeled and is a native plant. It does not get a lot of sun but it does grow every year. Thanks.

    Answer

    Dear CarolinChesterfield, good morning. I can't help you confirm he identification of this plant. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. I do not have expertise in Asian species (I'm sorry). Best wishes.
