Upright branches covered in a profusion of pure white flowers in springExochordas are shrubs that will delight in the spring with their extremely pure white flowers. The variety MAGICAL SPRINGTIME® is a recent selection whose branches are upright and covered from top to bottom in flowers in April and May. Its straight, lightly spreading habit differenciates it from the variety 'The Bride' whose branches are more arched and habit more weeping. This shrub requires no maintenance. It flowers on both the current year's wood and on older wood, and with the right conditions will flower again in the summer.
