The snow bush plant can live in full to partial sun, but the best color is achieved in a bright location. Soil should be consistently moist and not allowed to dry out. The bush is tolerant of any soil, including sand, but it must be kept watered. Salt air or saline soil will harm the plant.

How do you trim a snow bush?
Snow Bush grows quickly and will get quite large if not pruned. Cut the stems with sharp pruners to avoid tearing them. Make the cut just above a leaf node at a 45° angle.
Is snow Bush invasive?
Although they would never tolerate much of the real white stuff, the tropical snowbush or snow-on-the-mountain makes a great informal hedge. If you don't watch out, it can be invasive -- a common problem here in South Florida -- and just keep marching along where you don't need or want a line of bushes.
How often do you water a Hawaiian snow bush?
Always keep the soil moist, watering about every 1-3 days.
How do you grow an ice cream bush?
Snowbush prefers part-sun and humus rich, well-drained soil. Plant snowbush in a container, mixed border or massed planting, especially under a cluster of large palms or evergreen trees.
How big does a snow Bush get?
The plant grows 2 to 4 feet tall (0.6 to 1.2 m.). Snow bush produces small, round red fruits. The plant can be used as a specimen, accent or mass planting in very warm regions. The slender stems can even be trained to trail over a wall.

Breynia distichia
Snowbush is a soft pink fantasy of a shrub with an airy, delicate look - a South Florida favorite for its romantic, informal appeal. This plant adds a sweet touch as a single accent or cloud-like group plantings.
