Summersweet

3-5 feet

Summersweet thrives in partial to full shade and well-drained, consistently moist soil. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. This deciduous shrub is valued for its fragrant summer blooms and attractive fall foliage. It is an excellent choice for shaded gardens, woodland settings, or as a foundation plant. Proper mulching can help retain moisture and keep the roots cool. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove dead wood. Adequate spacing allows for good air circulation.

Choose a pot that is 1-2 times larger than the current pot, ensuring there is adequent drainage to prevent waterlogging roots. Plan on repotting every 3-5 years.

Choose soil rich in nutrients and with good drainage to support root growth.

Plant at the same depth as in the pot, keeping the top of the root ball level with the soil.

Water the plant appropriately, keeping the soil moist but not too wet.
