Description

An arching, deciduous shrub with white spring flowers, the Snow- mound is both easy to grow and care for. It is a small, decisuous shrub that grows to 2-3' high with a mounding form. Its leaves are small, bluish-green and similar to the boxwood. In the spring, white flowers cover the plant, and should receive full sun for growth. It can be effectively planted as a small hedge or accent plant, as well as a background or filler for later blooming evergreen shrubs and /or perennials.

Water Saving Tip:

In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.

Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
