Trees and Shrubs: Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet'

description for "Trees and Shrubs: Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet'"

Sweetspire has flowers and fragrance at a time few other shrubs do. During June and July plants are covered in white for a refreshing feeling during the heat of the summer. Sweetspire thrives in moist sites and isn't fussy regarding sunlight. However, plants are more dense and full if given more light. The foliage is bright green during the summer months and changes to a scarlet crimson color in the fall. Leaves are held quite late in the season for a spectacular autumn show too. Fall color is scarlet.
