Exochorda × macrantha 'Niagara' (PBR)
pearl bush
This hybrid form is a cross between E. racemosa and E × macrantha 'The Bride' and the resulting plant shows the best characteristics of both its parents. It is shrubbier than 'The Bride', with less splayed branches, but best of all, it produces masses of flowers. It is a deciduous shrub, and as it is relatively compact, it can be grown in the border or in a big pot on the patio.
How to care for Exochorda × macrantha Niagara (PBR):
When planting, add some well-rotted compost into the planting hole and a sprinkling of mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) to aid root establishment. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of conditioned organic matter around the base of the plant in early spring. Once established, prune after flowering.
