Most of the year, these are just decent filler shrubs, that screen our patio from the back yard. The real show is in May, when long showy sprays of bright white flowers make their appearance. When we relax on our patio swing at dusk, it's almost as if they light up the whole area. Usually, the flowers get so heavy that the whole thing flops, which is somewhat annoying, but we gladly put up with it.
