Why Plant Snowmound Spirea?
Snowmound Spireas are dwarf, ornamental shrubs that have lots of wonderful features. In mid to late spring spectacular clusters of pure white flowers decorate the branches. Gathered together in small corymbs small bouquets of blossoms will cover the arching stems in the late spring. These plants really live up to their name as their flowers pile up on the branches as if snow would on a mound. Butterflies and other pollinators love the taste of these white shrubs.
How to use Snowmound Spirea in the landscape?
Plant a row of Snowmound Spireas along a fence for decorative shrub borders or use as a foundation planting. Include these plants in mixed plantings as they add a contrast of graceful, arching branches with other growth habits.

How To Plant Snowmound Spirea
When planting the Snowmound Spirea, place them in an area with full sun and well-draining soil.
How To Water
Water thoroughly after planting. Give a good soaking once a week during the summer, unless rainfall is plentiful. Established plants should get less water.
How To Fertilize
Established Spireas prefer when a light fertilizer is used. Our Elements Starter Plant Food is perfect for this type of plant! Sprinkle some of our granular plant food after planting and you won't have to again till next year!
How To Prune
Prune or shear your Spirea in late winter or early spring as the new growth starts to emerge. A light shearing after the first wave of flowers will encourage more flowers.
How Does Shipping Work?

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
