Little Henry® Sweetspire – Compact Native, Big Seasonal Color

Itea virginica ‘Little Henry®’ is proof that great things come in small packages. This compact native shrub bursts with fragrant, white bottlebrush flowers in early summer, followed by brilliant, fiery red-orange fall foliage that steals the show. Its naturally mounded shape fits beautifully in borders, native gardens, or foundation plantings.

Tough, deer-resistant, and tolerant of sun or shade, Little Henry® brings low-maintenance beauty to just about any space.
