Spiraea

With attractive foliage and a graceful habit, these hardy, deciduous flowering shrubs belong to the Rose family, and are easily grown in any fertile, somewhat moisture-retentive garden soil.

Spiraea japonica ‘Magic Carpet’   

British plantsman David Tristram selected this dwarf Spiraea for its compact habit and tantalizing foliar colors, which persist through the season’s end. Distinctive among other golden-leafed cultivars, ‘Magic Carpet’ delivers vibrantly hued new growth, which first emerges a lively red and then transmutes from orange and bronzed purples to russet-red in the fall. Green overtones deepen its summertime foliage while dark pink flowers energize the colorful presentation. (PP#9,363)

Blooms June.

Size: 2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4.

Spiraea thunbergii ‘Ogon’   

Among the first shrubs to bloom, ‘Ogon’s pretty white five-petaled flowers are arranged in abundant clusters along its wiry bare branches. Later, small and slender Willow-like foliage attires the numerous dark twigs. Illuminated in golden shades, this fine textured Japanese selection conveys a bright, wispy visage in the midst of blue flowering Geranium ‘Nimbus’, Berberis ‘Golden Ring’ and Euphorbias.

Blooms March–April.

Size: 4' high x 4' wide; hardy to zone 5.
