Quick Overview:

This Virginia sweetspire cultivar is an erect, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically grows 3-4′ tall. Features fragrant, tiny white flowers borne in cylindrical, drooping racemes (3-6″ long) which cover the shrub with bloom in early summer. Oval, dark green leaves (1-4″ long) turn an attractive garnet red in autumn, sometimes persisting on the shrub until December. Flowers (racemes larger) and fall color of this cultivar are superior to that of the species.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
