Virginia Sweetspire - Little Henry

If you have wet spots in your yard where nothing will grow, let me introduce you to Virginia sweetspire. Virginia sweetspire is a super hardy river bottom plant that thrives in water or in dry conditions. Evolving in the river bottoms of the Midwest it can tolerate extreme wet or long periods of drought. The best part is it has a nice white flower in the spring and a bright red color in the fall. You can plant it in shade or sun. It comes in two sizes locally a larger variety and this little gem called “Little Henry.” It should only get 3’x3’ at maturity and you can pick them up at Hafners in North Syracuse almost all season. I use it often around downspouts or low areas! Here is one I put in tonight for a longtime customer.
