We’ve been watching this plant since fall when its leaves turned a rich crimson color,
|
||
we continue to watch because it didn’t drop it’s leaves like the other fall beauties did.
|
||
It has even held its color and leaves better than its famous cousin ‘Little Henry’ Sweetspire.

|
||
Scentlandia wasn’t selected for it’s fall/winter color,
|
||
it was selected as the most fragrant Sweetspire with the largest flowers.
|
||
Nothing is more wonderful in a summer bouquet than these graceful, cascading flowers.
|
||
Scentlandia is a versatile shrub that thrives in both substantial shade and full sun.

|
||
It tolerates our wet soils well, and is ideal on the edge of a wooded area.
|
||
It grows 2-3’ tall and wide and requires little pruning.
|
||
For a true showstopping winter landscape combine the Scentlandia sweetspire with red or yellow twig dogwood.
