Notes
'Tor' white meadowsweet (Spiraea betulifolia 'Tor') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and wide, so it suits small spaces. White flowers attract butterflies. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Pink Drift rose, False Solomon's seal, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Royal fern.
