Itea yunnanensis

Itea yunnanensis is a deciduous shrub native to the mountainous regions of China. It typically features long, arching branches and grows to a height of up to 2 meters. The plant is distinguished by its narrow, oval leaves and produces small, fragrant, cream-colored flowers that bloom in dense, pendulous racemes during the spring. Its ability to thrive in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade allows it to often inhabit forest understories, which plays a crucial role in supporting local biodiversity.
