Ready for some shade?
Shade. Some throw it, and others receive it. Fizzy Mizzy® Itea doesn’t just catch shade; it looks good doing it. That’s a pretty great quality for a plant (and enviable in a person.)


New to garden centers this year, Fizzy Mizzy® sweetspire literally stands out in the landscape with abundant, bright white, upright flower spikes that carry a light, lovely fragrance that attracts people and pollinators. It has an early summer bloom time that helps bridge the gap between the seasons, and its thick, dark green foliage is handsome enough to carry the show for the rest of the season. Plus, with a petite 3′ size, you’ll be able to use it in almost any garden or landscape.
Super versatile, native sweetspire can be planted in full sun to full shade, is amenable to most soils, plus it can withstand wet, boggy sites. Fizzy Mizzy® sweetspire has a wide growing range, cold hardy down to USDA zone 5 and heat tolerant to zone 9.
