Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet'
Choose Henry's Garnet Virginia Sweetspire for damp edges, rain gardens, and naturalized beds where fall color matters. The tradeoff: it can spread by suckers, so it is not the shrub for a tight, formal layout.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The long white flower clusters and reliable fall color give it a strong seasonal presence without looking overly formal. |
| Growth Rate | B | It settles in at a moderate pace and can gradually fill a bed where moisture is steady. |
| Maintenance | B- | Pruning needs are light, but you may need to remove suckers if you want a defined edge. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | Its spreading habit makes it better for roomy beds than tight foundation corners. |
| Screening Value | D | It is deciduous and open enough that it should not be counted on for privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for moist, informal beds where the homeowner wants a shrub to fill in over time, not sit as a single tight specimen.
| Mature Height | 3 to 4 feet |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 4 to 6 feet |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 48 to 72 inches on center |
| Sun | Full sun to part shade |
| Moisture | Medium to wet |
| Growth Habit | Deciduous shrub with arching, erect, rounded, spreading habit |

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
