Henry’s Garnet Virginia Sweetspire 1 Gallon Live Plant – Itea virginica ‘Henry’s Garnet’

Henry’s Garnet Virginia Sweetspire (Itea virginica ‘Henry’s Garnet’) is a deciduous flowering shrub native to the eastern United States, valued for its gracefully arching branches, fragrant white flowers, and vibrant garnet-red fall foliage. Its attractive growth habit and seasonal color make it a versatile choice for woodland gardens, mixed shrub borders, foundation plantings, and naturalized landscapes.

During late spring to early summer, Henry’s Garnet Virginia Sweetspire produces slender, cascading clusters of small white flowers that attract pollinators and add texture to garden landscapes. Its glossy green foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season before developing rich burgundy, crimson, and garnet-red tones in autumn. This adaptable shrub performs well in full sun to partial shade and tolerates moist soils, making it useful for rain gardens, woodland edges, and areas with seasonal moisture.

Each order includes 1 live Henry’s Garnet Virginia Sweetspire plant supplied in a 1-gallon nursery container. The plant is rooted and container-grown. Because this shrub is deciduous, it may arrive with reduced foliage, without flowers, or in a dormant condition depending on the season.
