Additional Information

  • Spring to Summer: 'June Bride' begins blooming in late spring, typically in May or June, producing abundant clusters of small, white flowers. The flowers contrast beautifully with the delicate green leaves, making it a standout plant in any landscape. By summer, the plant continues to provide visual interest with its fresh green foliage.
  • Fall: In the fall, the leaves transition to a warm yellow hue, providing an attractive, soft autumn color before they drop. The plant remains tidy and compact, offering structure and interest even in the cooler months.

    Winter: During the winter months, 'June Bride' enters dormancy and sheds its leaves. Though it is leafless, its rounded shape and graceful structure still provide some visual appeal, especially in the winter landscape.
  • Flower Description: 'June Bride' produces clusters of small, white, five-petaled flowers that bloom abundantly in late spring and early summer. The flowers form dense clusters that cover the shrub, creating a soft, cascading effect. These blooms are attractive and provide a delicate fragrance that adds an extra layer of charm to your garden.
  • Flower Longevity: The flowers remain on the plant for several weeks, with new blooms continually emerging throughout the flowering period, ensuring your garden is filled with color and life during late spring and early summer.

  • Best Time to Plant: The best time to plant 'June Bride' is in early spring, after the last frost, or fall, before the first frost. This gives the plant enough time to establish strong roots before the extreme temperatures of summer or winter.
  • Planting Instructions: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. 'June Bride' thrives in moist but well-drained soil and performs best with plenty of sunlight for optimal flowering. Dig a hole that is at least twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil, firm it gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.
  • Spacing: Space plants about 3–5 feet apart to allow for their mature size and ensure proper air circulation, which helps prevent disease.
