$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Exochorda × macrantha 'The Bride' produces abundant white flowers in mid to late spring, each bloom opening with five rounded petals surrounding a cluster of pale yellow stamens. The blossoms appear in graceful sprays along arching branches, creating a soft cascade of white across the plant. Fresh green leaves emerge along the stems with smooth, oval shapes that form a light canopy through the growing season.

This hybrid traces its heritage to Exochorda species native to China and central Asia. In gardens it brings seasonal interest to borders and specimen plantings where the arching branches and spring flowers create an elegant display.
