Creambush
Holodiscus discolor
Creambush is a hardy, deciduous native shrub that produces spectacular cascading plumes of creamy-white flowers in summer, attracting bees and butterflies. Plant it in partial shade with well-draining soil and water regularly during establishment, after which it becomes relatively drought-tolerant. It requires minimal pruning — simply remove dead wood in late winter to maintain a tidy shape.
