Ruby Spice Summersweet. It grows to about 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide, For 4 to 6 weeks in midsummer, plants bear hundreds of pink, wonderfully fragrant flowers arranged in plump, upright, bottle-brush-like spikes 2 to 6 inches long. The scent is a sweet perfume and bees love the nectar. A well-grown specimen almost looks like a big pincushion of pink when in flower. Like the other Summersweets, it has glossy green leaves which turn a good yellow before falling off in the fall. Give it full sun and moisture for best performance.
