Spirea Arguta – Bridal Wreath

€10.95

Also commonly known as Bridal Wreath or Garland Spiraea, is a deciduous, spring-flowering shrub celebrated for its profusion of small, pure white flowers that cover its arching branches. It is a hybrid garden origin plant that makes an excellent focal point, informal hedge, or cottage garden addition.

Key Characteristics
  • Growth Habit: Medium-sized deciduous shrub with dense, slender, gracefully arching stems.
  • Dimensions: Reaches an average height and spread of 1.5 to 2.5 metres (5 to 8 feet) at maturity.
  • Blooms: Masses of tiny, 5-petalled pure white flowers clustered densely along the naked stems in mid-to-late spring (typically April to May).
  • Foliage: Small, narrow, bright green lance-shaped leaves that appear during or just after flowering, turning a soft yellow in autumn.

Optimal Growing Conditions
  • Sunlight: Throws the best blooms in full sun, though it tolerates light partial shade.
  • Soil: Thrives in fertile, moist, well-drained soil. It is highly adaptable and can tolerate poor soils, clay, or sand as long as drainage is adequate.
  • Hardiness: Fully hardy across most temperate regions, surviving harsh winter frosts.
Pruning and Care
  • When to Prune: Cut back immediately after flowering in late spring. Because it flowers on the previous year's growth (old wood), pruning too late in the season or in winter will remove next year's flower buds. 
  • How to Prune: Cut back the flowered shoots to strong lateral buds. Every few years, remove up to one-fifth of the oldest, woodiest stems down to the ground level to stimulate fresh, vigorous growth from the base.
  • Maintenance: Low-maintenance overall. Apply a layer of mulch around the base in spring to conserve soil moisture.
