Monarch Madness® White is a sister to Monarch Madness® Pink; it also has massive flower clusters but this time colored snow-white. There are a few other differences as well; it’s a bit more bouquet-like in shape, not quite so wide, and its foliage and stems are light to mid-green. Again, you can employ it as you would a Spirea or Hydrangea, for specimen or hedge or accent planting.
