Limemound Spirea Plant (starter plant) (Spirea Japonica)

Potted Japanese Spirea Limemound Plant
 
Spiraea japonica, commonly called Japanese spirea, is a dense, upright, mounded, deciduous shrub that typically grows 4-6’ tall with a slightly larger spread. Leaves (to 3” long) are oval and sharply-toothed. Tiny pink flowers in flat-topped clusters (corymbs) cover the foliage from late spring to mid-summer, with sparse and intermittent repeat bloom sometimes occurring. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
Mounds of light green young foliage over the darker green older leaves gives a beautiful look to any spot.
