Family: Rosaceae (Rose Family)

Distribution: Asia

IUCN Red list: Not evaluated

Life form: Deciduous shrub/sub-shrub

Comments: Bridalwreath spirea is known for its graceful arching branches that are covered in pure white flowers each spring. The slender arching stems can easily be bent to form a wreath of flowers, giving this species its name. The small dark green leaves can develop an attractive red-yellow fall color. This shrub will grow to a height and width of about 8 feet and is definitely a show-stopper in full bloom.
