Japanese snowflower is a compact, deciduous shrub prized for its spectacular display of delicate white blooms in late spring. It grows best in partial shade to full sun with moist, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Prune lightly immediately after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead wood, and mulch the base to retain moisture and protect roots.
