Proven Winners - Itea virginica Little Henry (Sweetspire) Shrub, , #2 - Size Container

Arrival condition was excellent. They were shipped to Zone 7 from CT and arrived in about 5 days or so in well constructed corrugated boxes that survived the trip well, with each pot wrapped in a plastic bag with a drawstring closure to retain moisture.I was very pleased with their size. These should fill out nicely in short order I think. The plan is to make a low "hedge" with about 10 of them, spaced about 3 feet apart.The supplier did their part and now its up to the person with the brown thumb to try to make the most of them. We shall see....

Box was a bit damaged but the plant was in perfect condition - I was pleasantly surprised!

I was a bit nervous about buying a plant off of Amazon but it came so healthy and has been doing so well since! I highly recommend it and will probably be buying more!

I was a little hesitant to order a plant online as was needing a certain size plant. I have a hedge of the sweetspire and one had died. So, wanted to match to the existing plants as closely as I could. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the plant I received as well as it's health. It was fully leafed out and blooms had started to open. I am impressed and so glad I decided to order after I wasn't able to find a replacement plant at the local nurseries and big box stores.

I was somewhat apprehensive about ordering relatively large plants from mail order as it can be stressful to the plants under the best of conditions. My order of 5 plants were shipped in 2 batches, apparently from 2 different locations. The packaging is very clever and does a fair job. One box was damaged but the plant seems to be OK.All 5 plants seem to be thriving after planting with sufficient watering. New growth is evident. It remains to be seen how they fare longterm.

Beautiful plant, large for the price. It arrived in good shape. The only slight negative is that the pot was all root and practically no soil, so it had to be watered attentively until I could plant it, which was about 3 weeks. Flourishing in the ground now, putting out new leaves. Very pleased.

I'm disappointed! I understand the weather didn't cooperate and there were delays. I was informed of the delays. My plant arrived dead.

Shrub arrived dormant with no leave in good condition and was planted March 23, 2021. It is growing well, has put on many leaves and flower buds will open soon. May update this review over the next 12 months.
