This variety of summersweet is also known as sweet pepperbush and produces large, fragrant white blooms in the summertime. These blooms attract hummingbirds, bees and other pollinators. It will reach 6-8' tall and 4-6' wide.
This variety will provide good cross-pollination when paired with the Samdal variety. Samyl has particularly high-quality flowers.has a vigorous, bushy habit that is similar to Samdal, but not as dense. Plants are partially self fruitful, but planting two S. nigra cultivars will assure better fruit production for both.
