Original message follows:

Another Clethra source is Bluestone Perennials in Ohio.  I bought C.
'Hummingbird' there, and it has grown well here in North Florida.
They say it is dwarf, 18", sun or shade.  I have it in about 2 hours
direct sun at the edge of the a wooded area.  It has held up well in
this Deep South climate, and is just starting to bloom now.   Height
is only about 12" here, minus the blooms.   Attached is a small jpeg
just taken.

Bluestone sells it for $4.50.  They also offer C. alnifolia
'Paniculata' which they say gets to 4 feet high, same price, $4.50.
