Exochord 'Lotus Moon'
FamilyRosaceae
Exochorda × macrantha ‘Lotus Moon’ is a spectacular ornamental shrub, renowned for its exceptional spring bloom and graceful habit. It forms a broad, flexible, and elegantly arching shrub, ideal as a specimen plant, in a flower bed, or as a decorative informal hedge. In spring, before the foliage fully appears, its branches are covered with a profusion of large, pure white, lotus-shaped flowers, creating a luminous and refined effect highly sought after in the garden. Its deciduous, medium green foliage discreetly accompanies the bloom and then provides a structural presence throughout the summer. Hardy and well-suited to Quebec conditions, ‘Lotus Moon’ prefers well-drained soil and sunny exposures, offering a remarkable combination of abundant flowering, elegant habit, and ease of maintenance.
