Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet'
Virginian sweetspire Henrys Garnet
Noted for its slender somewhat pendent spires of fragrant, greenish white flowers, which form on the arching branches throughout summer, this shade-tolerant deciduous shrub also puts on a good display in autumn when the lustrous green leaves turn a rich shade of burgundy before they drop. A great addition to the woodland garden or shadier sections of the shrub border, it flourishes where there is reliable moisture, so can also be sited near a pond or stream.
How to care for Itea virginica Henry's Garnet:
Protect from cold, drying winds and apply a generous layer of mulch around young plants in autumn. Trim back to tidy in the spring and provide support for wall-trained plants.
