Spiraea nipponica June Bride

June Bride Spirea

June Bride Spirea carries generous clusters of white flowers along arching branches in early summer. The closely spaced blooms brighten the whole outline of the shrub.

Small, rounded leaves open with a purple tint before becoming dark green. The dense, spreading framework works well in a mixed border or an informal flowering hedge.

Grow in sun or partial shade in soil that drains well. Keep new plants watered as their roots establish, and leave room for the mature spread.
