Description

A first for Korean spirea (S. fritschiana), which has long been prized for its attractive fall color, is this selection with fluffy pink flowers. The extremely large soft pink flowers float like parasols above the attractive bluish-green leaves in the summer. Then fall brings on brilliant orange and red foliage.
