Pick up is central Masterton or if local, might be able to drop off.
This little Pompom bush is happy in its pot at the moment and should put on good growth this Summer once in the ground.
In the Spring this bush is covered with tennisball size white flowers resembling pompoms.
They are a deciduous bush.
The plant picture is the parent plant.

If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.
