Pearlbush 'The Bride'
Noted for its incredible floral display, award-winning Exochorda x macrantha ‘The Bride’ (Pearlbush) is a compact, dense, rounded deciduous shrub boasting arching branches clad with oblong, pale green leaves. In late spring to early summer, extraordinarily abundant racemes of 6-10 small, 5 petaled, pure white flowers open from pearl-like flower buds. For about six weeks, they smother the branches and are a sight to behold. Attractive to pollinators, they are followed by star-shaped fruits. The foliage turns delicate shades of yellow and orange. An elegant shrub that is adaptable and easy to grow. Excellent for flower effect, it is a striking addition to the shrub border.
