Sweetspire - Little Henry® Dwarf
Little Henry® Dwarf Sweetspire, itea virginica 'Sprich' (PP10,988), blooms in spring with sweetly scented, pure white flowers that cover the plant. It has a low, compact stature, and is great for beds, borders and mass plantings. It prefers moist soils, but will tolerate wet conditions. It will grow in full sun to full shade, and requires little pruning or other maintenance. It grows less than 3 feet tall which makes it suitable for large banks, with mass plantings. It is also a delightful addition to the mixed border. Foliage turns bright red in the fall, and with the white flowers in summer you'll have an outstanding colorful shrub through every season. Fragrant flowers attract butterflies, and Little Henry Dwarf Sweetspire is deer and drought resistant. ... get more information
Barberry-Red Leaf Japanese The Barberry bush or RedLeaf Japanese bush, Berberis thunbergii, is a deciduous shrub reaching up to 24" tall and about 30" wide. The branches are slender, spiny, and small, and the leaves are roundly oval in a deep red to purple color. The small, yellow flowers borne beneath leaves, from April to May, are not showy. Bright red berries can be found along stems from late fall through winter. Ironically, this is never really considered a feature of this plant. Barberry bushes are best located in full sun. This plant is tolerant of many types of soil, but will not do well in wet to very moist soils. As name Barberry implies, this makes an excellent hedge or filler shrub. |
