Spiraea nipponica 'Snowmound' 3L

A deservedly popular deciduous shrub, Spiraea nipponica 'Snowmound' lives up to its name each late spring and early summer, when its gracefully arching branches become smothered in small, rounded clusters of pure white flowers. The effect is exactly as described — a soft, billowing mound of snow settling across the plant, and it's a display that has earned this variety the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Beyond its flowering display, 'Snowmound' offers year-round structure with its neat, obovate leaves and elegant, fountain-like habit, forming a medium-sized mound that looks equally at home as a specimen shrub, worked into a mixed border, or grown informally as a flowering hedge. The abundant blooms are a magnet for bees and other pollinators, bringing valuable early-season interest to the wildlife garden.

Easy-going and reliable, this is a shrub that thrives in most moist, well-drained soils and tolerates a wide range of garden conditions. For the best flowering display, prune immediately after the flowers fade, cutting back a proportion of the oldest stems to keep growth vigorous and the shape open.

Each plant is hand-selected by our team at Pengelly Garden Centre, ensuring you receive a healthy, well-established specimen ready to bring its beautiful spring display to your garden.
