This exceptional deciduous shrub offers a delightful experience with its long, graceful spikes of intensely fragrant white flowers that bloom in early summer. Imagine stepping out into your yard and being greeted by its sweet perfume! Beyond the scent, Scentlandia also boasts beautiful green foliage that transforms into brilliant shades of orange, scarlet, and deep purple in the fall, extending its season of interest.
Scentlandia Sweetspire is a compact plant, typically reaching a mature size of 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide. This makes it a perfect choice for smaller gardens, as a fragrant border along a walkway, or even in containers on your patio where you can truly appreciate its delightful aroma. Its remarkable adaptability to light conditions makes it even more versatile, performing well in full sun to full shade. While it will produce the most flowers and best fall color with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight, it's one of the few flowering shrubs that genuinely thrives in shadier spots too, making it a problem-solver for challenging areas of your yard. It also tolerates various soil conditions, including moist or wet soils, though it prefers well-drained conditions. Best of all, Scentlandia Sweetspire is known for being deer and rabbit resistant, giving you peace of mind.
To ensure your Scentlandia Sweetspire establishes quickly and flourishes, incorporate Watters Premium Mulch into the planting hole and spread it around the base of the plant. This will help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and enrich the soil, creating an ideal environment for root growth. For continuous, vibrant growth and abundant blooms, feed your Scentlandia Sweetspire with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food during its active growing season. This ensures it receives the balanced nutrients it needs to thrive in our unique Arizona climate.
