may come what
With its masses of frothy white blossoms, May bush (Spiraea cantoniensis) is an old-fashioned springtime fave – May refers to its flowering time in the northern hemisphere. Its arching canes need plenty of space to spread out, although there are compact forms available, too. Give it a mostly sunny spot, feed and water with the rest of the garden and enjoy the reliable annual show from this hardy customer.
