Description

An arching, deciduous shrub with white spring flowers, the Snow- mound is both easy to grow and care for. It is a small, decisuous shrub that grows to 2-3' high with a mounding form. Its leaves are small, bluish-green and similar to the boxwood. In the spring, white flowers cover the plant, and should receive full sun for growth. It can be effectively planted as a small hedge or accent plant, as well as a background or filler for later blooming evergreen shrubs and /or perennials.
