Quick Overview:

This Virginia sweetspire cultivar is an extremely compact, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically grows to 2′ tall with a slightly larger spread. Features fragrant, tiny white flowers borne in cylindrical racemes (3-4" long) which cover the shrub with bloom in late spring to early summer. Oval, dark green leaves (1-3" long) turn attractive shades of orange, red and purple in fall, often persisting on the shrub until December. LITTLE HENRY is a dwarf version of the Virginia native species, with superior flowers and better fall color than the species.
