Ocean Spray is spectacular in full bloom. It is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with slender, straight to slightly arching stems. The deep green leaves are about 3 inches long and are white and slightly hairy underneath. In late spring to late summer, the shrub is literally covered with delicate clouds of fragrant, creamy-white flowers arranged in large, pendent, plumed clusters that may reach 12 inches. They attract hummingbirds, bees, ad other beneficial insects.
