Itea virginica


 

Itea virginica
Virginia sweetspire

Quite variable, the fall color can range from yellow, orange red or reddish purple. The quality of the display can range from moderate to outstanding. I have most frequently seen excellent red fall color on this species. It usually occurs late in the fall.
