Clethra

Clethra is a family known for its fragrant, bell-shaped flowers and simple, narrow leaves, typically growing in damp, acidic soils of wooded areas. These plants thrive under the canopy of larger trees, benefiting from the moist, sheltered conditions which promote their delicate blossoms and distinctive seed capsules that persist into winter.
