Spiraea nipponica 'Snowmound'
Snowmound Nippon spiraea
Notes:
As with all bridal wreath spiraeas, all blooming stems should be cut back to the ground after bloom.
Provide afternoon shade in hot summers.
Though they claim it may be overused, UConn still gives this spiraea the clear preference over S. × vanhouttei... but then does not explain why.
