Flower of the Day - Vanilla Spice Summersweet



Today's flower of the day is Vanilla Spice Summersweet. This flowering shrub has lovely sweet and spicy vanilla scented spires of white flowers similar to a butterfly bush. It blooms best in full sun to part shade from July to fall for lucky zones 3-9.

Happy gardening!

  1. Lovely plant that I'd forgotten about.
    I had one many years ago which was accidently mowed down and never recovered. I'm going to look online to see what height it grows.
    I love plants, but this summer has been so hot and dry that ours are suffering.
    Hope you have a great weekend.
