Exochorda Grandiflora

Exochorda Grandiflora - One of the loveliest of hardy shrubs allied to the Spiraeas, but with larger flowers, forming, when full grown, a rounded bush of about 10 feet high. It flowers about the middle of May, just after the foliage unfolds, and affords a charming contrast between tender green leaves and snow-white flowers as large as florins. It likes shelter, and grows best in warm loam, though hardy anywhere.

Exochorda Alberti

Exochorda Alberti - Has larger leaves borne upon stems of stouter and more rigid habit, and of a brighter reddish-brown. The flowers are clustered in erect spikes, are sessile, of a greenish-white, with the petals rather far apart. Coming from C. Asia, it is hardier than the Chinese plant, but does not bloom freely in cold soils. A cross between these two species, known as Alberti macrantha, has great vigour, and is more profuse in its snow-white flowers than either of the parents.
