Exochordia Is A beautiful Spring Flowering Shrub


Exochordia  xmacrantha, one of my all-time spring favourites it is soon to be absolutely flush with flowers. Otherwise known as the pearl bush.





There are a few varieties and their habits are slightly different but the flowers remain the same. Niagara Falls has a lovely bushy habit and It will make a big  shrub  over 1m. It can grow in most position but it will flower better and longer tucked away from the wind and cold a little bit. 








Prune it after it has flowered so it keeps a good shape. It's just gorgeous every year from April to May.
