Description
Deservedly, this outstanding shrub won ‘plant of the year’ 2015 at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The soft green leaves adorn the tiered branches and the leaves are accompanied by clusters of white flowers that sit on top of the leaves: the name of the shrub is a reflection of this feature as it resembles a snow-topped mountain with its shape and white floral display. Come autumn, the leaves turn to crisp shades of orange and red. Furthermore, winter interest appears with clusters of bright red berries. This is certainly a shrub that is deserving of a place in any garden.
