Ornamental Qualities

Double Play Red Spirea features showy clusters of red flowers at the ends of the branches from late spring to early summer that fade to pink over time | which emerge from distinctive dark red flower buds. It has forest green deciduous foliage which emerges burgundy in spring. The serrated pointy leaves turn an outstanding brick red in the fall.

Planting and Growing

It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front.

This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions | and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
