It is rare in the nursery trade. It will develop multiple trunks but may be trained into a single trunk. Over time, it can sucker and develop into a small colony. It flowers well in shady locations. White flowers are produced in numerous descending spikes. They attract hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other pollinators. This is an attractive shrub in a formal garden or in a naturalistic situation. The small seeds are eaten by birds and other small animals. It is considered to deer resistant but they may browse new shoots and flower buds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SCNPS Upstate","offers":[{"title":"6\"","offer_id":51131176878367,"sku":"C-72","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\"","offer_id":52632481693983,"sku":"C-72","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/9501\/4687\/files\/image_2025-08-15_111451319.png?v=1755270895","url":"https:\/\/shopupstate.scnps.org\/products\/clethra-acuminata-mountain-pepperbush","provider":"SCNPS Upstate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
