    Before the leaves appear in early spring, pure white, spider-like flowers emerge in profusion from velvety buds. Each scented flower can grow up to 12cm in diameter, so when in full flower, it makes quite an impact. Its compact habit and ability to flower when still quite young, makes this deciduous shrub a highly decorative addition to the garden.

  • Garden care: Plant in a sheltered spot, away from strong winds. Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in midsummer. Plant in a sheltered spot, adding plenty of peat to the planting hole. Mulch in spring with manure and leaf mould, especially on dry soils.
