Sweetspire is an excellent shrub for multiple season interest. Plants are at home in moist, rich soils in full sun to part shade, however they are quite versatile and tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, even heavy shade. Plants are recognized by their oval dark green leaves which are arranged on arching stems that, by autumn, turn vivid shades of red and orange which can persist into winter. Sweetspire is covered in drooping clusters of fragrant white flowers through early summer. It is also deer, insect, and disease resistant. 'Henry's Garnet' was selected for its larger flowers and intense red/burgundy fall color.
