Sweetspire 'Little Henry®'
Itea virginica 'Sprich'
Little Henry® is a dwarf variety of sweetspire that produces fragrant white flower spikes in early summer. In fall, the green leaves turn shades of orange and red, rivalling burning bush for excellent fall colour.
Sweetspire grows best in full to part sun. It will tolerate shade, but the fall colour will be minimal. It likes acidic, moist, well-draining soil and will suffer in dry, alkaline soil.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through September, depending on suppliers availability.
