Description

(Sweetspire) Enjoy three seasons of beauty with Itea Scentlandia®. An improvement over LITTLE HENRY®, Scentlandia® has 3 improved features: fragrance, hardiness, and fall color. Standing 2-3 feet tall and wide, Scentlandia® produces loads of white bottle brush flowers earlier in the season bringing the sweetspire fragrance to your garden or landscape. Hardy in zones 5-9, and with increased bud hardiness, you will see more consistent flowers in the cooler zones. In the fall, as the temperatures cool, this Native shrub will set your garden aglow with the intense shades of reds and purples that it will bring to your garden for an extended season of color. Itea Scentlandia® is versatile in the landscape, growing in full sun to shade locations. It prefers moist soils, but will handle wet conditions. Itea require little to no pruning, but if it is desired, Scentlandia® can be trimmed after flowering. Itea Scentlandia®, a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
