May Bush Snowmound (Spiraea nipponica 'Snowmound')

For a few glorious weeks each spring, Snowmound disappears under snow - every arching branch packed shoulder to shoulder with tiny white flowers until the leaves vanish beneath them. It is the classic cottage May bush in its neatest, most generous form.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love May Bush Snowmound

✔ Total white-out flowering - branches wreathed end to end in white each spring.

✔ Graceful arching habit - a fountain of fine foliage to around 1.5m.

✔ Cold climate champion - the harder the frost, the better it flowers.

✔ Cottage garden heritage - the picking shrub of grandmothers' gardens.

✔ Easy and forgiving - grows in almost any soil with minimal fuss.

🏡 How to Use May Bush Snowmound in Your Garden

✅ Informal flowering hedges - a foaming white boundary in spring - the 140mm pack of ten plants the full row.

✅ Cottage borders - the perfect backdrop for bulbs and perennials.

✅ Picking garden - armfuls of blossom branches for vases.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to light shade; flowers best with winter chill.
  • Spacing: 80cm-1m apart for hedging; 1.5m as specimens.
  • Best Planting Time: Winter (bare, dormant) through spring.
  • Watering & Care: Water through the first summer; established plants are quite drought tolerant. Prune a third of the oldest canes to the base right after flowering.

❔ FAQs About May Bush Snowmound

Why is it called May bush if it flowers in spring?
The name travelled from the northern hemisphere, where it blooms in May. In Australia expect the show in September-October.

When exactly do I prune?
Immediately after flowering finishes - it blooms on last year's wood, so late pruning removes next spring's flowers.

Does it flower in warm climates?
It performs best from Sydney south and inland where winters provide chill; in the subtropics flowering is lighter.
