Position: full sun Soil: fertile, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy Profuse white, cup-shaped flowers held in small corymbs cover the arching stems of ‘June Bride’ in late spring. A dense, compact deciduous shrub, with rounded, dark blue-green leaves which emerge with a purple tinge in spring. An excellent choice for an informal, flowering hedge for a sunny, well-drained site, and it is attractive to a wide range of insects so makes a welcome addition to the wildlife garden.

On mature specimens cut back a quarter to a fifth of the old shoots to the base.
