Itea is a delightful evergreen shrub that is best grown against a wall where it will cope with shade. The holly-like foliage that looks great throughout the year. In late summer it becomes bedecked with long, thin racemes of greenish-white, fragrant flowers that are very striking. A great plant to add interest to a boring wall.
