Snowmound Spirea is a medium-sized shrub that stays very compact.  It is covered in white blossoms in early spring and then has dark, blue-green foliage for the rest of the summer.  It has arching branches and can be pruned in late winter to control size.  It works well for mass plantings and bank plantings.

This shrub prefers full sun, although it will tolerate some shade and will adapt to a variety of soils.  It doesn’t suffer from any serious disease or pest problems.
