Exochorda x macrantha 'Bailmoon'

deer-resistant plant, Lotus Moon Pearlbush, covered in white flowers in the spring

Lotus Moon™ Pearlbush is a profuse spring bloomer that is covered in white round flower buds resembling a string of pearls. The buds open to clear white blooms that completely cover the plant in April and May, attracting early butterflies. Flowers are borne on previous year’s growth so prune right after flowering. Lotus Moon™ has bright green foliage on compact, upright, mounded plants. Deer resistant and low maintenance in the landscape, it grows well from Minnesota to Georgia.
