Itea virgincia Little Henry® (Dwarf Virginia Sweetspire)

The arching shoots of native ‘Little Henry’ bear the same fragrant white bottlebrush blooms as ‘Henry’s Garnet’, but this handy little deciduous shrub reaches 2 1/2' tall at best. Tidy in shape, the shiny dark green leaves turn brilliantly red-purple in fall.  As a foil for competing perennial colors in the border, for foliage contrast, or massed on its own, ‘Little Henry’ is an alternative worth considering.
