'Sixteen Candles' summersweet is a recent cultivar of a popular native shrub. This compact selection is better suited for slopes than the taller species, which can be tousled by wind and can quickly grow beyond eye level. In summer, 'Sixteen Candles' is topped with aromatic' erct, butterfly-enticing blooms for four to six weeks. In fall, the leaves turn an attractive yellow. Wandering roots and stems can easily be chopped off and transplanted.
