Plant Care
Pruning is seldom needed but may be trimmed immediately after flowering.
Roses for Bees and Other Pollinators
If you’re striving for a classic garden look that also attracts bees and other pollinators, roses are an excellent choice.
Little Henry® Sweetspire
Our native sweetspire is a very useful plant for rain gardens and other damp sites. Fragrant summer flowers attract pollinators, and the red fall foliage makes it a good alternative to burning bush. Flowering and fall color may be less pronounced in shade although the plant will grow well. Little Henry® is a dwarf plant that is about half the size of traditional varieties, making it a great choice for smaller landscapes. It may be used for foundation plantings, mixed borders, or planted en masse. It will tolerate clay soil.
