Common name:Bridal Wreath
Botanical name:Spiraea vanhouttei
This deciduous shrub exhibits fountain-like growth to 6' and as wide. During the months of June and July, showy white flowers are borne in rounded clusters to highlight the blue-green foliage. It should be grown under conditions of full sun.
If you mulch heavily as recommended in the compost and mulch fact sheets you should not need traditional fertilization. Sustainable landscapes fertilize themselves as soil organisms break down and recycle the dropped leaves into nutrients.
