Spiraea japonica 'Double Play® Red' (PP26,993 'SMNSJMFR')
Spirea are compact, upright deciduous shrubs. Blooms on year-old wood. Many flat-topped clusters of flowers appear late spring to early summer. Tough dependable plants adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions.
Spirea require very little maintenance. They prefer full sun but tolerate partial shade. Require good drainage. Prune just after flowering. In spring, trim to shape and apply a time-release fertilizer.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
