Congratulations Jim on receiving 100K subscribers!!
I see 100,000 subscribers listed ! ! ! CONGRATULATIONS!
I planted “Vanilla Spice” and love it. Beautiful shape, loaded with blooms and pollinators, and not picky about its location.
That's a good one as well. The bees are nuts for them🐝
Congrats on hitting 100k! You’ve grown so much since I first found your channel and I’ve learned so much as well, thanks!
I planted a Ruby Spice during shutdown because of the fact I needed something that could tolerate wetter soil and I could stand forever and breath in the wonderful fragrance!
Ended up buying one a few weeks ago! I have a slightly sloped area in the front of my house under a window (4-5ft under it) to grow a nice shrub and thought this would be nice! Part sun and shade, clay soil.
I just saw several of these at NC farmers market and I believe I will be adding them to my garden.
Just planted 4 of these and can not wait for the fragrance next year.
Finally a new idea to my wet, shade shrub need. Congratulations again!
Thanks you! You definitely will enjoy any Clethra.
Great native plant ! When they are in bloom perfume the woods with the sweet spicy smell. Easy to grow too! Can spread but not crazy
100k👍...Well deserved!! Congrats to you and your supporting cast 🐾🐕
Great native plant very easy to grow love going in the woods .when they bloom the smell is everywhere mid
summer
Ok, shade it is. I was worried they wouldn’t flower as well in shade but I will give it a try. I’m an enabler and baby mine. I’m working on it though. 😬 Congrats on the 100K+!
Just bought five of these for my shady garden here in Maryland zone 7a. Can’t wait to see the blooms.
Jim, that looks like a great plant for my landscape, I'll look for one of those in the spring. I noticed that you've reached over 100K subscribers, congratulations! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and plant expertise with us. I appreciate and learn a lot from your videos.
I looked up this video as I planted 2 I got from Park seed as sticks. I potted them up and planted as about 15 inch plants. A year later they are about 3 ft just a single branch coming up and I hope they fill out a little and give me blooms this summer. Thank you, Jo
100k!! Well deserved, congratulations! Love the clethra 'ruby spice' - saw it in Washington DC in July this year and fell in love. Finding it to purchase is proving to be a tad difficult...
Jim, congratulations on hitting 100,000 subscribers! That's awesome.
Summer sweet is one of my favorite shrubs. I love the fragrance, and I work at a nursery and generally people can smell it from across the shrub lot, and will ask me what it is. I planted ‘Sugartina Crystalina’ behind my Koi pond as low hedge with ‘Big Blue’ Liriope by the waters edge.
Beautiful specimen Thanks for share
Blessings!!!
Thanks for following along
So glad to see this video as I had decided to plant one of these next year. Looking forward to a sweet smelling flower. 100K woo-hoo, Jim!!
Can't wait to see them in the spring!
What a coincidence. I just planted three Ruby Spice Clethra this morning. They are in a spot that gets late afternoon sun only. I am hoping they are the ticket.
I have been looking at this plant. Thank you for all the great information. Congratulations on 100k!!!!
Catching up on your videos today. Thanks for all you put out. I have one of these and this helpful.
Thank you!!
I have one of these and the flower fragrance is wonderful.
These are lovely. Thanks for the idea. I will put them on my "list".
Woo hoo! 100K! 🎉🎊✨👏🏻👏🏻 so happy for you. I love this shrub. It’s now on my list! Is it a southern living plant? Or can I find it in most areas? Thanks and again, congratulations!!
This shrub sounds too good to be true! Will be searching for it. Thanks
I just purchased two of these for my front yard .the ones that I purchased are quite large and I'm thinking about giving them a chopped back even if I lose some flowers this year they are much larger than the rest of the shrubs that I have in this area,And I seem to be having visual problems just looking at it.
100 k congratulations jim
The house we bought last year has overgrown Burfordi Holly in front & one side. I can see they've been whacked back before. Sure would love to rip them out & put nicer shrubs in, Clethra would be great around the porch where high oak shade occurs. No budget yet for this project, still planting my hosta, ferns etc. Some are in HUGE pots, big holes but nice mature look in a hurry. Maybe next year......
I am desperate for shrubs for zone 5.! Thank you so much! Love your show!
Congrats on your big number!
I just bought (and still need to plant) a Clethra 'Hummingbird' variety. I hope it turns out to be a nice four season plant like the 'Ruby Spice' variety. Thanks for the video!
It is a great variety as well
may have to get my hands on these nice.
I bought the pink one and the white one. You forgot to mention that they are fragrant
Just got one of these
100k!! Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!!
Just to add, if you chop off any suckers, these can grow into new plants to use elsewhere or give away.
Nice shrub!! I will be looking for one of these. What kind of mulch do you use? It looks very fine. I haven't seen anything that fine in my garden centers. Congrats on your 100k subscribers!!
Great video, very informative. I bought two ruby spices about three years ago and they have not bloomed yet. They grow about 2 feet tall in summer and become beautiful golden yellow in fall. But every spring when I check them while I'm doing spring cleaning I see they are about a few inches tall. All the height they had in the summer is gone. Do rabbits gnaw on them? I cannot think of any other reason for these plants not to grow and get established in my garden. By the way, I live in Toronto (Canada) USDA zone 4. Would you kindly advise. Many thanks in advance.
I planted 6 of these last spring. They did great. However, this spring it looked like they were starting to bud but a frost came early April and now they look dead? Your thoughts
Just planted two last year and they did very well. However, I believe the yard bunnies loved them too and now I only have branches! One plant has a tiny sprout but the other, nothing yet. Will they survive or how can I protect over winter?
Hey Jim, now that you have a small army of 100K subscribers and growing, how can we get you on HGTV?! They need a good gardening show!
I think I would turn it down😂. I enjoy doing what I do. Thanks for your support.
RUclips is way better source of information than traditional t.v. Shows. The subscription entertainment has changed the way people used to watch t.v. Anything good on Hulu, Netflix or Amazon get recognition but RUclips is and will be always better. Viewers can get questions answered ( which is most important to me as novice gardener). Most importantly the “ real professionals” can give us good “ content”. For many viewers this will be destroyed on moneymaker t.v channels because they are all concerned with making money.
They handle water well. Would you say they work well in a poor drainage environment as well?
usefull info am considering removing knockout roses planted in our subdivision 15 years ago on a terrace area on common property that does not recieve adequate sun im a newbie to the neighboorhood we are trying to spruce up the hood.if we can find ruby spice on the market in theseneca sc area.have does ruby spice flower in a part sun/part shade environment?
Hey Jim! Congratulations!! I've noticed that when you plant perennial shrubs, you don't put them all the way in the ground and leave a little at the top. Is that the rule for most perennial shrubs, do you compensate with mulch at the top and what is the reason? Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Appreciate you!
Yes, I leave them up and use the mulch to finish up to the top. Works great
What time frame are we talking about here when we talk about the eventual height of a plant? I planted my ruby spice last year, it was about 2 feet, my zone is 6, so how much growth it can roughly put on this year?
My older home came with a ton of mature hardwoods so I pretty much deal with roots everytime I dig a hole! We've lost or cut down many of these now (at a huge expense) and have many to go, but the roots remain.
The fragrance on this is not what I've expected having read the descriptions. t's actually reminiscent of Scepter'd Isle rose with its stinky myhr note but more rough. An aquired taste I suppose.
cut back in spring?
I have a wet area in my yard. Would clethra do well there?
What are you going to do when you run out of room in your city lot?
Sun requirements?
Will the sucker shoots be identical to mother plant? Not grafter, right?
It's not a grafted plant
are these commonly sold at the box stores, nurseries, or do you typically need to find them online?
if you are in Charlotte, NC , the local university UNCC sells them at the annual plant fair.
I just did a google search for deer on this shrub and it is said to be deer resistant. What is your thoughts?
Judy, I planted one in May and so far the deer haven’t touched it. We have quite a lot of them come through our property and I’ve seen their prints where they’ve been beside of the shrub, but they’ve not nipped at it as of yet.
How tall and wide do they get?
about 4x5
