Commonly known as Virginia Sweetspire, 'Little Henry' is a dwarf form of the native shrub that is so popular up and down the East Coast. Itea thrives in full sun and is especially useful to gardeners dealing with wet garden spaces.

Smothered in heavily fragrant white flowers (that butterflies adore) in summer you'd think that Itea couldn't get any better. But when fall rolls around you'll discover an even greater attribute: shockingly bright red foliage followed by crimson red stems throughout winter. With Itea you'll have an outstanding, colorful shrub every season of the year. Great for grouping and for massing on large banks, in beds, and in perennial and shrub borders.
