A snow storm in April! It is possible with this very unique and showy new European Spirea. Noted for its massive white dome-shaped blooms up to 6 to 8 inches across and superb autumn color. Appearing in early to mid-summer the pure white blooms will lighten up your garden and contrast wonderfully with the bluish-green leaves. Watch for a blaze of orange and red leaves in fall. The plant is sturdy and holds its blooms up in a neat fashion. Adaptable and easy to grow, this low-maintenance shrub is useful to both the professional landscaper and homeowner. Deer-resistant
