Little Spark® Spirea

Spiraea japonica 'Minspil04' PP30,819

Little Spark® Spirea

Little Spark® is a compact spirea with orange new growth that holds its yellow leaf color throughout the summer, even when planted in full sun. A summer bloomer, the pink flowers arise just above the foliage, and if you give them a quick shear when they are done, it will rebloom in late summer. Fall color includes shades of pink, creating a multi-toned effect. Little Spark® is fantastic when planted along a garden border or as a featured shrub in a decorative container.
