Virginia sweetspire is an excellent suckering shrub that, while non-native to New England, serves as a valuable ornamental species that stays relatively low and flowers profusely in early summer. Its masses of tiny white blooms are much beloved by butterflies, and it grows well in average, well-drained garden soils.
