- Description
Spirea royalty! We’ve spent years seeking an improvement on ‘Little Princess’ spirea, and we’ve finally found it. Double Play® Princess Spiraea japonica is more vibrant than the previous princess and resists fading to a dull pink. Not only is the bright pink flower color better, but this spirea also boasts an even neater, more compact habit. Like the rest of the Double Play® series of spirea, Double Play® Princess has superior, colorful foliage and is a durable, disease resistant landscape shrub. This adorable compact spirea has excellent container presence, making it a delight for you to grow and shoppers to snag at retail. Double Play® Princess spirea was developed by Mike Farrow.
