{"product_id":"virginia-sweetspire","title":"Virginia Sweetspire (Itea virginica)","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"753\" data-start=\"235\"\u003eVirginia Sweetspire brings fragrance, fall color, and pollinator appeal to the garden. In late spring to early summer, it produces arching sprays of fragrant white flowers that draw butterflies and bees. As the season progresses, its glossy green foliage transitions into a show-stopping mix of deep red, burgundy, and orange in fall—often lasting well after other shrubs have faded. With its manageable size and graceful shape, it’s an excellent fit for borders, rain gardens, or woodland edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1244\" data-start=\"1193\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1242\" data-start=\"1197\"\u003eWhy Choose Virginia Sweetspire?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"881\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"879\"\u003eLong bloom time and pollinator-friendly flowers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"881\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"879\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"884\" data-end=\"908\"\u003eBrilliant fall color\u003c\/strong\u003e adds seasonal flair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"881\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"966\"\u003eThrives in wet or shady areas\u003c\/strong\u003e where other shrubs struggle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"881\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003eCompact and manageable size\u003c\/strong\u003e for small or large gardens alike.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"1614\" data-start=\"1611\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1648\" data-start=\"1616\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1646\" data-start=\"1620\"\u003eMaintenance Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1122\"\u003ePrune after flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e if shaping is needed; avoid cutting in early spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1197\"\u003eMulch annually\u003c\/strong\u003e to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1245\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003eTolerates wet soils well\u003c\/strong\u003e, but adapts to average conditions once established.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1176\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1329\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003eCan sucker lightly\u003c\/strong\u003e to form colonies—cut back unwanted shoots to contain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"My Home Park","offers":[{"title":"1 Plant","offer_id":47564027003097,"sku":"SHB-ITEVIR-1G-1","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Plants","offer_id":47564027035865,"sku":"SHB-ITEVIR-1G-2","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Plants","offer_id":47564027068633,"sku":"SHB-ITEVIR-1G-4","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/0645\/4489\/files\/virginia_sweetspire_01.jpg?v=1764796881","url":"https:\/\/myhomepark.com\/products\/virginia-sweetspire","provider":"My Home Park","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
