Low Growing Evergreen Plant With White Flowers That Bloom in the Spring

White flowers add a splash of bright contrast in the spring garden. Combine the fresh white spring flowers with year-round evergreen leaves, a plant provides year round interest. You can find spring-blooming, low-growing, evergreen plants as small shrubs and creeping ground covers. When selecting plants, consider growing conditions, like sun, soil moisture and soil type, at the planting site. When planting any new shrub or perennial, matching the growing requirements with the site is key to long-term success.

  1. Leatherleaf

    • Leatherleaf (Chamaedaphne calyculata "Verdant") is a broadleaf evergreen ideal for full sun to part shade areas with wet soil. In spring, small, showy, white flowers bloom in 5-inch-long clusters creating contrast with the dark, glossy-green leaves. This low-growing shrub is 1 to 3 feet tall and wide at maturity. Leatherleaf grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 9. Grow leatherleaf in wet border areas or bogs. Leatherleaf will naturalize readily.

    Cotoneaster

    • For a low-growing evergreen ground cover, try cotoneaster (Cotoneaster cochleatus.) Cotoneaster grows 6 to 12 inches tall and will spread 1 to 6 feet wide. It thrives in full sun to part shade and can tolerate drought and rocky, poor soil conditions. One-quarter inch diameter white flowers bloom in spring and early summer followed by red berries in late sumer and early fall. Cotoneaster is a member of the rose family and will naturalize. It grows in USDA zones 5 through 7.

    White Azalea

    • "Delaware Valley" white azalea (Azalea x "Delaware Valley White") is a white-flowered, low-growing azalea cultivar. This broadleaf, woody, evergreen shrub grows 2 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. Large white flowers bloom in spring and fade by summer. "Delaware Valley" grows in part shade and needs humus rich soil that drains well. Grow this azalea in shrub beds, border areas, as a specimen plant or as an evergreen hedge. It grows in in USDA zones 6 through 9.

    Creeping Saxifrage

    • The shade-loving ground cover creeping saxifrage (Saxifraga stolonifera) is an evergreen with white flowers in spring and early summer. Creeping saxifrage grows 6 to 18 inches tall and 12 to 24 inches wide. The flowers bloom on 18-inch-tall stalks above the mounding, evergreen leaves. Creeping saxifrage will form a dense mat over the soil and is well suited for shaded rock gardens and rock walls. It is native to Japan and China and grows in USDA zones 6 through 9.

    David Viburnum

    • The shrub David vibrunum (Viburnum davidii) produces showy white flowers in spring and ornamental blue berries in fall. This broadleaf evergreen grows 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide and has a compact growth habit. Grow David vibrunum in full sun or part shade in shrub borders or in groups in the landscape. The flowers attract butterflies in spring and, in fall, birds visit the shrub to fill up on the sweet berries. David viburnum grows in USDA zones 7 through 9.
