What this page adds
The Japanese Spirea is a mounding deciduous shrub with small, oval, green leaves. It produces flattened clusters of tiny pink or white flowers from late spring to summer, giving it a vibrant, compact appearance. Its dense form makes it visually distinct.
Gardeners often 'deadhead' spent blooms, encouraging even more flowers to appear later!
Its name, Spiraea, means 'wreath' in Greek, perhaps for its lovely flower clusters!
Many different types exist, with flowers ranging from bright pink to pure white.
