Snowmound Spirea Plant: A Garden Classic

The Snowmound Spirea is a deciduous shrub celebrated for its profuse display of white flowers in late spring to early summer. This plant, typically reaching 2-4 feet in height and width, forms a dense, upright, mounded shape, making it an excellent choice for borders, hedges, or foundation plantings. Its attractive yellow fall foliage adds year-round interest to your landscape. The Snowmound Spirea is native to Japan, thriving in zones 3-8

This Spirea is easy to grow and maintain. It prefers average, medium moisture, well-drained soils and full sun, although it appreciates some light afternoon shade in hotter climates.
