Spiraea jap. Double Play ‘Doozie’

Pot size #2

Spirea is a landscaping classic, thanks to its neat, mounded habit. It makes a nice edging, accent plant, or perennial garden companion.

The Double Play Doozie spirea is the first of its kind being that it is a non-invasive spirea, and it has a lack of seeds so that means it is a perpetual bloom with waves of flowers in a red-pink shade; blooming from Summer until frost. This shrub naturally grows in a neat mound shape. Foliage is green, though new growth may have a gold shade.

Great option because it blooms non-stop, non-invasive, and has colorful foliage.

Prefers soil that is moist and well-drained. Great to use as fresh flowers or dried. Deadheading is not necessary. Needs slightly acidic soil. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. Drought tolerant.

Mature Size: 3-4′ tall x 3′ wide
