How to Grow
This hardy deciduous shrub is neat and compact with a lovely rounded habit. From late spring, Itea virginica 'Love Child' is laced with creamy, white flowers spikes that that droop demurely downwards. The fragrant blooms stand out beautifully against its bright, green foliage. As autumn approaches the leaves turn to rich burgundy, adding a splash of colour to fading borders. Itea virginica requires a moist, acid to neutral soil – perfect for woodland edges or as a specimen shrub in acid borders. Height and spread: 120cm (48").

Grow Itea in fertile, slightly acid soil. Sweet Spire enjoys moist, well drained conditions that don’t dry out in summer. Choose a position in part shade with shelter from cold, dry winds.
More Info Feed and water Itea plants regularly until fully established. Prune Itea after flowering, cutting back to strong buds. Mature specimens can be further pruned to remove a quarter of the old stems from the base of the plant. Although perfectly hardy when mature, young Itea plants will appreciate a deep, dry mulch to protect the roots in winter.
