Common Name: Virginia
'Sweetspire' Botanical Name : Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet' It's amazing how little used this selection is when you consider all it has going for it. Start with dark green, lustrous foliage on a tight, slightly spreading form that is perfect for grouping or using alone. Add in its show of 2-6" long racemes of white flowers that open in June with a little fragrance to add a kick to the late spring garden and help attract a number of colorful butterflies. Finally, its amazing fall foliage color of brilliant reddish-purple will really make you stand up and take notice. An added bonus is this beauty tolerates many soils, from moist to dry and partial shade while still performing at its peak. In sum, 'Henry Garnet' is an outstanding plant! Matures 3-4' tall x 5-6' wide. Hardy to Zone 5. |

Common Name: Virginia
'Sweetspire' Botanical Name : Itea virginica 'Little Henry' 'Little Henry' may sound small, but the landscape show it puts on is anything but small! Low and mound forming, this selection starts the show with an explosion of pure white flower spires in late June that stand out especially in group plantings. The 'Little Henry' show springs to life again in the fall as the cool temperatures inspire a red foliage explosion that may even outshine the ever popular Burning Bush (Euonymous compacta). You will easily see why this plant makes the Proven Winner Color Choice Flowering Shrub lineup. Matures to 3 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. Hardy to Zone 5. |
