Spiraea nipponica 'Snowmound'
spiraea
Abundant, arching sprays of bowl-shaped white flowers in mid-summer and rounded, dark green leaves. This spreading, deciduous shrub makes an excellent informal, flowering hedge for a sunny, well-drained site. It is particularly attractive to a wide range of insects so makes a welcome addition to the wildlife garden. This is a particularly vigorous variety, so for best results it should be pruned hard each year in early spring.
