Itea (Sweetspire)

Itea, commonly known as Sweetspire, is a beautiful, deciduous shrub prized for its fragrant, cascading flower spikes and colorful fall foliage. The delicate, white or pale pink flowers bloom in late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. In the fall, Itea's lush green foliage turns vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple, creating a stunning display of autumn color. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, Itea is also highly adaptable to wet or boggy conditions, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, borders, and woodland gardens. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub is deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, making it a versatile and reliable addition to a variety of landscapes.
