Double Play Gold Spirea
General Information
Double Play Gold Spirea is a great shrub that would fit well in many different locations in your landscape. It is a small shrub, giving it the opportunity to be placed where larger plants would not work. This plant is perfect for borders or walkways and for providing an accent to larger plants in many different areas. It grows in a very compact, mounded fashion, with a densely branched structure giving the plant a very nice, full look overall. The leaves are small, about 2 inches long, and are oval in shape with serrated edges. The foliage emerges a light yellow color in the spring, maturing to a greenish-yellow color over the summer months. In the fall the leaves turn a wonderful golden yellow color. The flowers bloom in profusion in the late spring. They form in rounded clusters all over the shrub. The individual flowers are a bright pink color and very small. After the blooms are spent, they should be removed for the opportunity for re-blooming to occur.
