An upright, rounded deciduous shrub that blooms early and frequently throughout the summer.
Enjoy a season-long display of colour as leaves emerge bronze-red in spring, mature to blue-green in summer, and finish in a rich wine red in autumn.
Produces abundant clusters of tiny, deep pink flowers from May to August.
A robust and fast-growing shrub, perfect for creating informal flowering hedges, filling borders, or covering banks and slopes.
Exceptionally low-maintenance, with excellent resistance to common pests and diseases.

Species: Spiraea
Flower Colour: Clusters of hundreds of tiny deep pink flowers.
Flowering Season: Summer (May, June, July, August).
Position: Full sun to partial shade. Thrives in full sunlight for optimal flowering.
Habit: A clump-forming shrub, ideal for hedging. Flowers emerge on upright stems from clumps of foliage.
Hardiness: H4 - hardy in warmer areas of the UK.
Soil Type: Any well drained, fertile soil. Will tolerate less than perfect conditions but prefers well drained, loamy soils. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in some perlite or fine horticultural grit when planting, to improve drainage.
Growth Rate: Fast, grows up to 60cm per year.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent pest and disease free.
Features: Wildlife benefactor.

Planting Time: Plant from October to March.
Spacing: For hedging, plant at 2 plants per metre, with 50cm between each plant. As a specimen, allow 1m between plants.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root shrubs, you won't need to water regularly, only in dry spells when the leaves start to wilt and droop.
Feeding: Feeding not required. A low maintenance plant which gets its nutrients from the soil.
Pruning: Prune after flowering. Remove any dead, diseased or damaged growth. Prune flowered shoots to strong buds. Cut back approximately 1/4 of old shoots to the base to promote replacement growth. Pruning after flowering allows the maximum time for development of young growth to provide the following year’s flowers.
