Sprummer! That glorious time of year that bridges spring and summer. The birds are singing and the weather is warm—it has not yet become oppressively hot. Now is the time to spend lazy hours outside, soaking it all in. Pull up a lawn chair next to your Virginia Sweetspire then! Late May and early June is when it churns out its fragrant, pendulous spires of starry white blossoms, which attract butterflies in droves. Plant this easygoing Accent en masse in your wildlife-friendly garden, where it will nourish native pollinators in sprummer and beautify the landscape all year long.
