Ideal for small gardens, 'Nikko' is considered one of the best cultivars. This dwarf, dense, rounded, features gracefully arching branches covered in abundant clusters of tiny, fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers in late spring to early summer for 10 to 14 days. Forming a ground-covering spreading mound, it has fine-textured, lance-shaped leaves. Makes a wonderful addition to shrub borders and is deer resistant. Prune in spring after flowering.
