Pruning Advice
Spiraea nipponica ‘Snowmound’ is a spreading shrub and can become a little leggy and less dense over the course of a growing season. A general trim can be carried out in early spring before flowering if a tidy up is required. If overgrown, cut back after flowering when it is possible to hard prune back to restore a more pleasing shape.
Other than a trim once a year, Spiraea ‘Snowmound’ needs little maintenance and is easy to grow.
