Snowy Day Blizzard pearlbush

The Snowy Day Blizzard Pearlbush should be watered deeply once every week during the summer, and once every 10–14 days during the cooler months. To ensure that your plant receives enough water, it is best to use a soaker hose or a garden hose with a slow trickle. Allow the soil to dry out to a depth of 2–3 inches before watering again. In times of extreme heat or wind, it may be necessary to water more often.

The Snowy Day Blizzard pearlbush (Exochorda x 'Blizzard') grows best in full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. This plant will also do fairly well in partial shade, but for optimal growth and flowering, full sun is best. Planting this species in an area with morning sun is ideal, but if planting in the afternoon, make sure the area is shielded from direct, hot southern exposure.

Snowy Day Blizzard pearlbush (Exochorda x 'Blizzard')is best pruned immediately after it finishes flowering (late spring to early summer) to encourage full, bushy growth and beautiful blooms come spring. Cut back each stem to a pair of strong buds, and remove dead or diseased wood as needed. Depending on the size of the shrub, you can prune up to 1/4 of the stem length to encourage more dense foliage and flowering. For large shrubs, it may be better to remove up to 1/2 of the stems to the ground each season.
