Exochorda serratifolia ‘Snow White’
Graceful, luminous and utterly uplifting in spring, Exochorda serratifolia ‘Snow White’ – often known as the Pearl Bush – is one of those shrubs that quietly transforms a garden for a few unforgettable weeks each year.
In April and May, slender arching stems are smothered in pure white, star-shaped flowers, each opening from rounded, pearl-like buds that shimmer against fresh green foliage. The effect is soft yet striking – a cloud of blossom that seems to glow even on overcast days.
Why it earns its place
-
Masses of crisp white spring flowers
-
Elegant, arching habit with a naturally airy structure
-
Reliable and hardy across the UK
-
Beautiful in mixed borders or as a standalone feature
‘Snow White’ forms a rounded shrub, typically reaching around 2–3 metres in height and spread over time. Its serrated mid-green leaves provide a fresh backdrop during the growing season, before fading quietly in autumn.

Mixed shrub borders
-
Planting against brick or dark fencing where the white flowers can shine
-
Softening corners or filling gaps with light and movement
It pairs beautifully with spring favourites such as tulips, forget-me-nots and early flowering perennials, weaving a romantic, layered look.
