Itea Virginica Little Henry
A great low-maintenance native plant that pollinators love in sunny spaces. Prefers medium, well-drained soil, but is adaptable to many soil types and will tolerate dry conditions once established. Best shape if left unpruned and requires very little to no maintenance. This really is a great native plant for beginners - tolerates cold conditions and exposed spaces.
