Exochorda x macrantha 'The Bride' (Pearlbush)
Exochorda x macrantha 'The Bride' is a deciduous shrub of hybrid origin introduced around 1900. It is a hybrid of Exochorda korolkowii and Exochorda racemosa. It carries pearl-like racemes and it has green leaves that turn yellow in autumn. It also carries star-shaped brown fruits that are not ornamentally significant.
