A lovely shrub when in full bloom but coarse afterwards. The branches are somewhat droopy when weighed down by the many rounded clusters of white flowers. Some people call this one the Bridalswreath spirea, but that plant is really a different cultivar called S. 'Arguta'. It flowers just after the real Bridalswreath fades.

An "oldie but goodie" - we inherited a Bridal Wreath spiraea when we purchased this house, and its form can't be beat - very graceful, weeping shape. My only wish is that it would bloom longer.

Spirea is a durable and familiar shrub. Best growth
occurs in a sunny location and any garden soil. Spirea
grows 8 to 10 feet tall, with a spread of 10 to 12 feet.
Remove some old wood at each pruning to keep the plant
vigorous. The white flowers are produced in spring after
the leaves. The plant grows rapidly and may be used as a
screen.
