This small, rounded, woody shrub is sometimes called snowball because of its fluffy white flowers in early to mid-summer. Blooms look great in the formal perennial flower bed as well as the prairie meadow. Shrubs grows best in well-drained, average garden soil with full sun to partial shade, but they can survive harsh conditions.
The larval food source for the mottled Dusky-wing and Spring Azure Butterfly, it's an excellent choice for the butterfly garden.

Makes a great Japanese style garden subject, but spreads rampantly. Plant in contained areas, or in places where its spread won't overcome other plantings. Excellent greenery in cut flower arrangements. Super-cool container specimen plant all by itself.
