Serissa japonica 'Snow Rose'

Serissa japonica 'Snow Rose' (snowbush, snowrose, tree of a thousand stars) is an evergreen to semi evergreen (deciduous) shrub with small green leaves with small, double, white flowers. Serissa japonica 'Snow Rose'' is a low growing evergreen to deciduous (depending on winter lows) shrub that has small green leaves and small  double, white flowers in the summer.  Serissa japonica 'Snow Rose' responds very well to heavy pruning (I cut mine back hard in late spring and then allow to grow naturally for the rest of the year) but can also be pruned into tight mounds or allowed to grow naturally without pruning.  Serissa japonica 'Snow Rose' is great in mass plantings or a specimen in partially shaded areas.  It will tolerate full sun but might get some leaf burn in late summer.  Serissa japonica 'Snow Rose' requires well drained but not dry soil.
