Question from
Andi Brogle
Hi
When we bought the Spiraea 'Snowmound' the label said that it will grow up to 90cm tall. Other refererences in the Internet Talk about similar heights. Your 250cm height and width seems to me a bit generous. At least our plants keep rather to the 90cm of the label.
Are there two different Snowmounds in the market?
Cheers
Andi
