White Collection contains: Spirea vanhouttei Bridal Wreath
- This beautiful deciduous shrub has been grown in our gardens for over a century, &, as the largest spiraea, is ideal for the back of a border. In early summer it puts on a lavish display of crowded clusters of pure white flowers. The foliage turns a conspicuous shade of violet in autumn. Height 1.8m. Be tempted! There is always a space where you could plant a shrub. Unlike herbaceous perennials, which die back to the ground each winter, they provide a permanent 3-dimensional structure, forming a backdrop to their more ephemeral neighbours. Some shrubs are easy to grow or provide particular interest. Some have an extended flowering season & others provide additional colour or structure at different times of the year. 3 bare root plants.
