NATIVE GARDEN SPOTLIGHT: Virginia Sweetspire in Bloom

​Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica) is blooming in the native garden at the Crofton Community Library, bringing bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to the garden in abundance.

Its fragrant white flower spikes are especially popular with native bees and butterflies. A beautiful swallowtail butterfly was recently spotted visiting the blooms, highlighting the important role native plants play in supporting local wildlife and healthy ecosystems.

Native plants like Virginia sweetspire provide valuable nectar sources throughout the season while adding beauty, fragrance, and seasonal interest to the library garden.
​
Visitors are invited to stop by and enjoy the garden as it comes alive with summer pollinators.
