This Japanese spiraea cultivar is a densely branched deciduous shrub which typically forms a compact mound to 30″ tall. Features numerous pink flowers in flat-topped clusters (corymbs) in late spring to mid-summer. Attractive to butterflies. Oval, sharply toothed, mint green leaves take on attractive red hues in autumn.
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates a wide range of soils. Remove faded flower clusters to promote additional bloom. Prune in late winter to early spring. Older shrubs can be rejuvenated by hard pruning in early spring.
