FIZZY MIZZY is not your typical Itea. Itea FIZZY MIZZY sturdy white flower spikes stand erect, reaching toward the sky, and they come in abundance. More typically, Itea FIZZY MIZZY blooms in late spring and its flowers are lightly fragrant.
Rather demure for an Itea, though, this Virginia sweetspire has a neat and tidy habit, growing 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, but Itea FIZZY MIZZY is full with thick, dark green leaves and perfect for a container or for just about any spot in the garden. A native shrub, Itea FIZZY MIZZY is highly versatile: Itea FIZZY MIZZY grows well in full sun and shade; it tolerates a wide range of soils and growing conditions, including wet locations; and Itea FIZZY MIZZY naturalizes well, forming dense colonies in wild and informal areas.
Uses: Hedges, Mixed Beds, Foundation Plantings, Mass Plantings, Containers
