Deciduous, dense, rounded shrub with creamy white blooms from June until the first frost in the fall. Fine-textured green foliage turns yellow-brown in the fall. To keep a tidy appearance in the winter, cut back to the ground or remove old canes. Very cold hardy and drought tolerant. Great addition to the garden for shrub borders or mass plantings.
