Spiraea japonica (Spirea)
Color Name: Double Play® Red
A flower color breakthrough! Double Play Red spirea is the first with true red flowers. Each deep red floret is crowned with a spray of long anthers bearing purple pollen for an irresistible effect. In spring, foliage emerges a glowing red, and new growth through the season is an attractive burgundy.
This fantastic Spirea Japonica improves on the species in every way! The habit is dense and mounded, the foliage is more attractive, the blooms are abundant and bright, and the whole plant shows excellent performance in gardens.
Growing Tips: May be trimmed after bloom for a flush of colorful new growth and some rebloom.
