Grow Tips: Though flowering and fall foliage color is best with at least some sun, itea is one of the most shade tolerant flowering shrubs. Though Scentlandia™ itea was selected for improved stem hardiness, some dieback can occur in cold climates – mulch and/or site in protected areas in zones 5 and 6 Itea thrives in moist to wet soils but is surprisingly tolerant of normal and dry conditions as well – especially once established. Adaptable to pH. Prune after flowering if desired; remove any dead wood in spring if necessary. Mass plantings; wildlife and woodland gardens; specimen; mixed borders; landscaping. Dwarf habit makes it well-suited to use around the home.
