- Description
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. Growers, retailers, and homeowners will appreciate its neat and compact habit in a container and 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.
