This compact, deciduous shrub features a mounded habit with dense foliage and an elegant display of pure white flowers that bloom profusely from late spring to early fall. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-8, it thrives in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 10°F and prefers full sun to partial shade. The foliage transforms into golden hues in the fall, adding seasonal interest, while the small, insignificant fruit is rarely noticeable. Ideal for well-drained soils, this shrub exhibits excellent deer resistance, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardens. Growing to a mature height and spread of 2-3 feet, it is perfect for borders, mass plantings, or as a statement piece in small spaces due to its compact, rounded shape.
