Description

Japanese spirea is a dense, mounded, deciduous shrub that typically grows 2-3' tall and 3-4' wide.Tiny pink flowers in flat-topped clusters cover the foliage in late spring to mid-summer with sparse and intermittent repeat bloom often occurring throughout the remainder of the growing season. Flowers are attractive to butterflies. 'Goldmound' is, as the cultivar name suggests, noted for its attractive golden foliage. Leaves emerge golden in spring, but gradually fade to a gold-green as the summer progresses. Fall color may include interesting yellows, oranges and reds. This is a compact mounded cultivar.
