Cheer for the little guys...

LITTLE HENRY(R) DWARF SWEETSPIRE PP10988
Itea virginica 'Sprich'
Developed by Richard Feist at Hummingbird Nursery in Kentucky, Little Henry is a dwarf form of the famous 'Henry's Garnet'. Little Henry's buds will bring sweetly scented, pure white flowers on cylindrical racemes (3-4" long) in late spring to early summer.
This low-mounding, compact shrub has arching branches that produce brilliant fall colors of orange, red, and purple persisting into winter. Maturing at a size of one and one-half to 2 feet high by 3 feet wide, Little Henry(R) would make a perfect addition to any landscape.
Little Henry(R) Dwarf Sweetspire is hardy to zone 5.
