Sweetsire (Itea virginica) is a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub prized for its cascading branches covered in fragrant, bottlebrush-like flowers in late spring to early summer. Growing 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, it adds soft texture and seasonal interest with its vibrant fall foliage in shades of red, orange, and yellow. Tolerant of a variety of soil types, including moist or wet conditions, Sweetsire thrives in full sun to part shade and is ideal for naturalizing near streams, woodland edges, or in mixed borders.
