Spiraea japonica (Spirea)
Color Name: Double Play Dolly®
A whole new color combination for spirea with unique purple flowers atop clean yellow foliage. The show starts in early spring, before the flowers appear, when the foliage flushes orange-red before transitioning to bright yellow. You will appreciate its neat and compact habit in the landscape. It's also very durable and easy to care for, making it an ideal choice for eye-catching yet low-maintenance landscaping.
Growing Tips: Trim after blooming for a flush of colorful new growth and some rebloom.
Soil: Adaptable to all soils except very wet sites.
Pruning: Blooms on new wood - prune in early spring as desired.
Uses: Mixed borders; foundation plantings; flower beds; mass plantings.
