Summersweet - Sixteen Candles:
Summersweet - Sixteen Candles, Clethra alnifolia 'Sixteen Candles', is a summersweet cultivar that is noted for its erect, candle-like flower spikes and compact size. It is a densely-branched, rounded, suckering deciduous shrub that typically grows 3' to 5' tall. It features narrow, fluffy, bottlebrush-like, terminal spires of extremely fragrant, creamy white flowers, which bloom on the current year's growth for approximately 4 to 6 weeks in mid-summer. Sixteen Candles Summersweet is easily grown in average, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. It prefers part shade and consistently moist, acidic soils, but tolerates full shade. It is a good flowering shrub for shade in woodland gardens. It is also appropriate for moist soils along stream banks or pond/water garden peripheries.

"A team grew fruit, vegetables and reared cattle on adjacent organic and non-organic sites across Europe. They found up to 40% more antioxidants could be found in organic fruit and vegetables than in non-organic.
The team said the findings call into question the current stance of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which is neither for nor against organic food."Free
