Little Henry® Sweetspire (Little Henry® Itea virginica 'Sprich')

Directions for Planting/Care

Caring for your Little Henry® Sweetspire is a breeze. Here are simple steps to ensure it thrives and graces your garden with its presence:

Planting: Select a location with well-draining soil, and ensure it receives either full sun or partial shade. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, but no deeper. Place the shrub in the hole, backfill with soil, and make sure it's level with the surrounding ground. Give it a good soak to help settle the soil around the roots.

Watering: Little Henry® appreciates consistently moist soil, especially during its initial year after planting. Be sure to water deeply, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently damp. Once it's established, it becomes more drought-tolerant.

Pruning: Keep your Little Henry® Sweetspire in shape by performing light pruning in late winter or early spring. This helps maintain its attractive form and removes any dead or damaged branches. Don't be too aggressive with pruning, as it may reduce flowering.

Fertilizing: To encourage robust growth, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring. This provides the necessary nutrients to support healthy foliage and blossoms.
