Exochorda × macrantha ‘Lotus Moon’ – Compact Elegance & Snow-White Spring Blooms (20 Litre Pot)
Exochorda × macrantha ‘Lotus Moon’ is a refined, compact flowering shrub that bursts into bloom in mid to late spring with an abundance of pure white, pearl-like flowers. A modern cultivar of the well-loved “Pearl Bush,” it’s prized for its dense, rounded habit and profuse flowering – often covering the entire plant in a frothy display of blossom. Supplied in a 20 Litre pot, ‘Lotus Moon’ is ideal for adding soft, romantic structure and spring brilliance to borders, mixed shrub plantings, or containers.
With its dark green foliage, neat form, and repeat-flowering tendency in some seasons, ‘Lotus Moon’ is both beautiful and low-maintenance. Its tidy size makes it perfect for small gardens or formal designs, while its blooms provide excellent early nectar for pollinators.
