This adaptable rice flower features mass displays of brilliant white flowers that are so profuse that they completely hide the foliage, on a very compact mounding shrub. It makes a wonderful dwarf feature shrub for the front of a sunny garden bed or use it in a pot or rockery situation. Trim back behind the spent flower heads at the end of spring.
