Double Play® Artisan® Spirea Flowering Shrub

You'll love the spring growth of the new Artisan® Spiraea from the Proven Winners Double Play® Series. While the foliage is green, the tips filled with new growth is red which gives the appearance of tiny red blooms from a distance. By the time all of the new growth has hardened off, deep fuchsia pink flowers appear. Deadhead the spent blooms to encourage re-blooming longer into the summer season. 

A low maintenance flowering shrub, lightly prune your Spiraea in spring for shape and apply, if needed, a timed release fertilizer. Otherwise, mulch with aged compost mix in spring and again in fall for nutrient rich soil.
