These are southeastern natives, closely related to the Witch-hazels. Fothergilla ‘Mt Airy’ has small white flowers that are Thalcitrum-like, all stamens and no petals, on bottlebrush spikes. I’ve read that  is a cross of F. gardenii and the larger species F. major. I’ve also seen it classed as a straight F. major. This species has exceptional fall color - a combination of bright yellows, oranges, and reds.

Heptacodium miconioides,  is a Chinese native, a large shrub that can be trained as tree to feature its attractive exfoliating bark. The late summer-early fall blooms are white, in clusters of seven (hence the name Seven Son Flower). Later in the season the sepals turn red-purple, and provide a show.  The Kemper Center says it is a good source of nectar for butterflies in the fall.

Daphnes have a well deserved reputation as fussy plants. Even under ideal conditions they will sometimes thrive for a few seasons and then wither away for no apparent reason. Daphne caucasica seems to be much easier and is the species that most people have the best chance of success with. In our area a position out of intense afternoon sun in average to rich soil is best. It has fine, gray green foliage and a rounded, mounding habit. The small white flowers are highly fragrant and bloom sporadically throughout the summer.
