Sweetspire - Little Henry

The Sweetspire Little Henry, 'Itea virginica', also known as Virginia Sweetspire Little Henry, is a great shrub for most landscapes. Place it in front of larger evergreens or it fits well with other perennials in your garden. Another outstanding attribute of Little Henry is it's dark green foliage which changes to a brilliant red in the fall, like a burning bush in fall color. The Little Henry will tolerate wet soils and it will stand some drought after it is established. Flowers in late summer and fall. If you do any pruning, do it after it flowers. ... details
