Lightly trim after flowering to keep plants compact and encourage fresh new growth. Avoid cutting back into older woody stems.
'Snow Cone' delivers a dazzling spring display while remaining neat and evergreen throughout the year. Its compact habit makes it equally effective spilling over walls, edging borders or filling gaps between stones in alpine gardens.
The nectar-rich flowers provide an early source of food for bees and other pollinating insects during spring.
