General Information
Spiraea SNOW STORM is noted for its massive white dome-shaped blooms up to 6 to 8 inches across and superb autumn color. A snow storm of abundant, massive white flowers covers this plant in April and May. The pure white blooms will light up your garden and contrast wonderfully with the bluish-green foliage. Watch for a blaze of orange and red leaves in fall. The plant is sturdy and holds its blooms up in a neat fashion. This deer-resistant shrub is adaptable and easy to grow and is useful to both the professional landscaper and homeowner.
