HENRYS GARNET SWEETSPIRE

Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet' is commonly referred to as Henry's Garnet Sweetspire or Virginia Sweetspire. It is a compact, deciduous shrub with arching branches and dark green leaves that take on a reddish tinge in early fall and continue to deepen to dark crimson as the weather cools down. Fragrant white flower spikes cover the plant and occur in May and June attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.

Henry's Garnet Sweetspire thrives in full to partial sun in evenly moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Its best coloring occurs with more sun. Strong suckering forms colonies to help it spread. It is ideal for woodland areas, foundations and near waterways. It is often used for erosion control and moist areas with poor drainage.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in moist, well-draining soil, although this species is remarkably adaptable and tolerates wet sites or heavy clay better than most. Select a location in full sun to partial shade, noting that maximum sun exposure is required for the most prolific flower production and the most intense crimson-purple autumn leaf color. Establishment requires consistent moisture during the first season to ensure the root system develops properly. Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape or encourage density, as this species blooms on old wood.
