Asian Snow – A Beautiful, Easy-Care Flowering Shrub
Enjoy clusters of delicate white flowers throughout the warm months. A lovely choice for garden borders, low hedges, and Southwest Florida landscapes.
Asian Snow is an evergreen flowering shrub with small white flowers and green foliage. It blooms repeatedly during warm weather, providing flower color throughout much of the year in Southwest Florida. Its compact growth makes it suitable for flowering borders, low hedges, foundation beds, and patio containers.
This plant typically grows 3–5 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, depending on the variety and pruning. Its branching growth makes it useful as an individual flowering shrub or planted in rows for a continuous hedge.
This shrub grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Locations receiving several hours of direct sunlight generally produce more flowers, while partial shade is suitable for areas with less sun exposure.
For flowering hedges, plants can generally be spaced 2–3 feet apart, depending on their starting size and desired coverage. Allow enough room for mature growth and occasional trimming. Asian Snow requires regular watering while its roots become established. Once established, maintain moderate soil moisture and provide additional water during extended dry periods. Its moderate growth rate makes it manageable in residential landscapes. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain the desired height and encourages additional branching.
