Plant in moist, average to wet soil in full sun to full shade; Virginia sweetspire is one of the most adaptable native shrubs for difficult garden situations, tolerating wet soil, dry clay, deep shade, and drought once established. Fragrant white flower racemes in June are attractive to butterflies and bees, and the fall foliage turns spectacular shades of orange, red, scarlet, and purple — often the best fall color of any shade-tolerant shrub. The cultivar 'Henry's Garnet' is the most widely grown, with especially long flower racemes and outstanding crimson fall color. Plants spread by suckers to form thickets; remove suckers to maintain a single-stem form or allow them to colonize a slope or wet area as a groundcover.
