Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sweetspire is a favorite eastern native for good reason! It is an extremely versatile shrub with stunning fall color, wonderfully scented blooms that even perform well in deep shade, and it is known to thrive in bog-like conditions. A true problem solver! This selection has been chosen for its consistently exceptional fragrance, and the extra cold hardiness of its buds to zone 5. If pruning is necessary, it is only recommended after signs of life are visible. PP30233
