Clethra alnifolia ‘Hummingbird’ (commonly known as Summersweet or Sweet Pepperbush)

Clethra alnifolia, commonly called summersweet, is a deciduous shrub that is native to swampy woodlands, wet marshes, stream banks and seashores, often in sandy soils, along the coast from Maine to Florida and west to Texas. It is a rounded, suckering, densely-branched, deciduous shrub that typically grows to 3-6’ (less frequently to 8’) tall and is noted for producing a mid to late summer bloom of sweetly fragrant white flowers which appear in narrow, upright panicles (racemes to 2-6″ long). Flowers give way to dark brown seed capsules (1/8″ diameter) which may persist into winter. Mature stems have scaly, dark gray to brown black bark. Serrate, obovate to oblong, glossy dark green leaves (to 3-4” long) turn variable but generally attractive shades of yellow to golden brown in fall. Flowers are very attractive to butterflies and bees.

All Green Thumbs Nursery has added several new shrubs to the line up.

The Ilex Soft Touch and Ilex Carissa are evergreen and very compact.
Perfect to add some green to a corner of the deck or patio.

Both Ilex ‘Soft Touch’ (Japanese Holly) and Ilex ‘Carissa’ (Chinese Holly) are popular, dense evergreen shrubs used to create low-maintenance mounds or hedges.
While they share a similar rounded shape and deep green color, they have distinct differences in leaf texture, hardiness, and overall appearance.

Wax begonias (Semperflorens Begonias)

These are tough, ever-blooming herbaceous annuals and houseplants famous for their glossy leaves and continuous red blooms.
Red Begonias are vibrant, versatile plants celebrated for their show-stopping crimson blooms or dramatic, metallic-red leaves.
Whether you are planting them outdoors in the summer or keeping them as indoor foliage plants, they add a bold pop of color to any space.
They are prized for being low-maintenance, heat-tolerant, and naturally resistant to pests, deer, and rabbits.
Begonia semperflorens (commonly known as Wax Begonia) is technically a tender perennial.

However, its classification depends entirely on your local climate:
In frost-prone areas: Grown as a colorful annual, completing its life cycle in a single season.
In warm, frost-free climates (USDA Zones 8-11): Lives as an evergreen perennial, coming back year after year and even blooming continuously.

Begonia and Petunia Hanging Basket

Begonias and petunias are popular, vibrant flowering plants that make a stunning garden pairing,
provided you select the right varieties to match their light and water needs.

Petunias thrive in full, intense sun (5–6+ hours daily). Traditional tuberous begonias prefer the shade and can scorch in direct sunlight.

To pair them, choose sun-tolerant begonias (like Wax or Dragon Wing varieties) and place them in an area with partial sun (roughly 4–6 hours of light per day)
