The garland spiraea or bridal wreath is a popular hybrid, widely planted for its profuse spring flowers an old alternative name is May foam. It is one of the larger spiraeas, ideal for growing towards the back of the border, where it can make a soft green background for other plants after its lavish spring display of pure white flowers in neat crowded clusters. Bushes tolerate hard pruning, which helps keep the spreading growth to more manageable proportions, and may be planted closely as a dense informal hedge. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
