Features

Loose clusters of white flowers in early to mid spring; bright green, narrow leaves give the shrub a fine texture in summer; autumn color is yellow-orange, but lasts only a short time.

Culture

Full sun; moist, well-drained soils are best, but tolerates dry sites; tolerates neutral soil pH (highly alkaline soils may lead to chlorosis).
