About This Plant
Sometimes called mountain snowbell or wild snowball, this small, rounded shrub is covered by puffs of small, white, fragrant flowers and is a pollinator magnet. It has a deep root system, so it's hard to transplant, but is excellent at stabilizing soils and can withstand poor soils. It even helps to fix nitrogen in the soil.
