Itea Fizzy Mizzy™ Sweetspire

A Proven Winners® variety, Fizzy Mizzy™ is not your typical Itea. Fizzy Mizzy Sweetspire sturdy white flower spikes stand erect, reaching toward the sky, and they come in abundance. More typically, 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 Fizzy Mizzy Sweetspire is full with thick, dark green leaves and perfect for a container or for just about any spot in the garden. A native shrub, Fizzy Mizzy is highly versatile: Fizzy Mizzy grows well in full sun and shade; it tolerates a wide range of soils and growing conditions, including wet locations; and Fizzy Mizzy Sweetspire naturalizes well, forming dense colonies in wild and informal areas.
