Exochorda racemosa, commonly known as Pearl Bush, is a captivating addition to your garden that enchants with its elegant and showy spring blooms. Originating from Central Asia and China, this deciduous shrub belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae), showcasing a loose, upright growth habit, and a broad, rounded form. Pearlbush typically reaches 10 to 15 feet in both height and spread, making it an excellent choice for borders, foundations, or informal hedges.

Renowned for its pearl-like flower buds that give way to dazzling white, cup-shaped blooms each spring, Pearl Bush becomes a focal point in any landscape. These flowers, which appear in April, form in clusters of 6-10, each reaching up to 1.5 inches in diameter. The lush, green, elliptic leaves provide a simple yet elegant backdrop to the blooms, though they remain fairly nondescript once the flowering season concludes.

Pearlbush thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers organically rich, well-drained, acidic to slightly alkaline soils. Once established, it exhibits impressive tolerance to heat and drought, though it appreciates medium watering. Ideal for gardeners seeking low maintenance options, it requires pruning only after flowering to maintain its graceful appearance.

Although listed as invasive in some U.S. regions, Pearlbush remains a cherished plant in suitable locations, providing a reliable nectar source for pollinators. Hardy to USDA Zones 4-8, this plant embodies resilience and beauty, effortlessly elevating your garden's allure each spring with its delicate and pearl-inspired floral display. Choose Exochorda racemosa for a garden accent that's both timeless and adaptable.
