Snowdrop bush

A deciduous shrub usually 4′-6′ high, but sometimes growing 6′ wide by 12′ high with attractive branching.

Its gray bark and graceful form make it attractive even without its leaves.

Between April and May it displays many fragrant, showy, 1″ pendulant white flowers similar to Philadelphus (Mock orange) with citrus flowers followed by little citrus fruit.
