Description

"Little Henry" is a specific cultivar of Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica). Here's some information about it:

  1. Appearance: Little Henry is a dwarf deciduous shrub with a compact, rounded growth habit. It typically reaches a height and spread of about 2 to 3 feet. The foliage is oval to elliptical in shape, and the leaves turn attractive shades of red, orange, and purple in the fall. In late spring to early summer, it produces cylindrical white flower spikes that are fragrant.

  2. Sunlight: Little Henry prefers full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates, but will produce the best fall color and flowering in sunnier locations.

  3. Soil: It grows best in moist, well-drained soil with average fertility. It can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, or clay soils, as long as they are not waterlogged.

  4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the establishment period. Once established, Little Henry is relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from regular watering during dry spells.

  5. Pruning: Pruning is generally not required for Little Henry, but you can prune lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.

  6. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates.

  7. Pest and Disease Resistance: Little Henry is generally resistant to pests and diseases.

  8. Landscape Uses: Little Henry is commonly used in landscapes as a low hedge, border plant, mass planting, or specimen shrub. Its compact size, attractive foliage, fragrant flowers, and fall color make it a popular choice for adding interest and beauty to gardens.

Overall, Little Henry is valued for its ornamental features, low maintenance requirements, and adaptability to various growing conditions. It's a versatile plant that can add year-round beauty to gardens and landscapes.
