Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet'
Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet' is an attractive deciduous shrub producing elegant, arching racemes of small white flowers during summer. The lightly fragrant blooms stand beautifully against fresh green foliage and give the plant a graceful, natural appearance.
The flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, adding wildlife value as well as seasonal interest. As autumn arrives, the foliage develops spectacular shades of deep red, burgundy and orange, providing a rich display that can persist well into the season.
Ideal for mixed borders, woodland-style planting and waterside gardens, 'Henry's Garnet' performs well in full sun or partial shade and prefers fertile, moist but well-drained soil. This reliable, award-winning shrub is particularly valued for combining summer flowers with exceptional autumn colour.
