Snow On The Mountain.
These gorgeous, super-frilly, pure-white flowers bloom on evergreen plants that grow up to a mature height of 25 feet. The flowers are awesome cutting flowers and make wonderful holiday decorations when they are floated in a bowl of water. The shrubs are easy-care in dappled shade and acid soil. They are beloved southern garden shrubs and have definitely stood the test of time in southern gardens.
