| Botanical Name | Spiraea prunifolia |
| Description | A Southern garden staple, 'Bridal Wreath' is prized for its spectacular spring display and fine-textured foliage. It is very heat-tolerant and thrives in the Houston metro area. While it is adaptable to many soil types, it performs best in well-drained, organic-rich soil. It can handle the area's clay if the site doesn't hold standing water, but it is sensitive to "wet feet" which can cause root rot during our heavy rainy seasons. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Best for blooms) to Part Shade |
| Height x Width | 6-8 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers regular watering until well established. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears. |
| Pruning | Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape without sacrificing next year's blooms. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
