spirea

Rose family shrub

Spirea, also spelled spiraea, is a genus of flowering shrubs in the rose family, prized in gardens for their cascading clusters of small white or pink blossoms.

The plants are hardy and low-maintenance, blooming prolifically in spring or summer depending on the variety.

Bridal wreath is among the most popular types, with its arching branches covered in dense white flowers.

The spirea along the fence needs pruning after it finishes blooming.
