Bridal Wreath Flower

Bridal Wreath is a species of the spirea genus, native to Japan, Korea, and China.The name "Bridal Wreath" comes from the way the blossoms adorn the branches, forming a lacy, elegant spray reminiscent of a wedding veil or a floral crown.This spirea typically grows between 4 to 8 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, fountain-like shape. Its branches arch gracefully outward and downward, making it ideal for borders, specimen plantings, or mixed shrub gardens.

Bridal Wreath's most celebrated feature is its dazzling floral show. Tiny, double white flowers bloom in clusters along the length of every branch, creating a frothy effect that transforms the entire shrub into a living bouquet. Because the flowers emerge before or just as the leaves begin to unfurl, the floral impact is even more pronounced.Gardeners often use this shrub as a centerpiece for spring displays. When in full bloom, it becomes a magnet for bees, butterflies, and admiring passersby. It also makes a stunning background for family photos or seasonal events.

While the spring blossoms are its signature, Bridal Wreath offers multi-season appeal. In summer, its lush green foliage provides a calm backdrop for more colorful summer flowers. Come fall, the leaves turn warm shades of orange, red, or yellow, adding autumnal beauty to the landscape.In winter, the shrub’s arching silhouette provides visual interest, especially when outlined in snow or frost.Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, it’s moderately drought-tolerant.Best pruned immediately after flowering. Remove old wood to encourage new growth, and shape as needed. Avoid heavy pruning in late summer or fall, as this can remove next year's flower buds.
