Itea virginica 'Sprich'
Choose Little Henry® Virginia Sweetspire for a compact native shrub with white early-summer flowers and strong fall color. The tradeoff: it can spread by suckers, so use it where a small colony is welcome.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The flowers and fall color give it more seasonal value than many small shrubs, but it is not a bold focal point. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace and can gradually widen by suckering. |
| Maintenance | B | Pruning is usually 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 | A- | Its compact habit works well near walkways, low windows, and smaller planting beds if spreading is managed. |
| Screening Value | D | It is deciduous and low, so it should not be chosen for privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for layered native plantings, rain garden edges, and smaller beds where a spreading habit helps fill space instead of becoming a nuisance.

Yes, slowly by suckers, which is useful in drifts but not in tight formal beds.
It is a smart pick for areas that stay moist at times, as long as the site is not constantly flooded.
Only lightly after flowering or to remove unwanted suckers.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
