Itea Little Henry®

Little Henry® Itea is a small flowering shrub with beautiful shoots of pure-white scented flowers all summer long. In fall its leaves turn spectacular colors of orange and red. It grows just 2 to 3 feet tall, making it an excellent plant for smaller gardens, or for mass planting in larger ones. It can be grown among other small shrubs to provide flowers in summer, and color in fall. It can also be planted in groups as a ground-cover on banks or along streams. Its fragrant flowers attract butterflies, and your children will love to visit this plant to see these beautiful creatures. The fall coloring is amazing, and as the summer flower clusters resemble fireworks, so the fall coloring resembles a wildfire, so brilliant are the colors.
