Spiraea japonica 'Gold Mound' is a compact, deciduous shrub with fresh, lime green foliage and panicles of pink and white florets in summer. It is best planted in a full sun or partial sun position, but can grow fine in exposed areas, making it ideal for coastal gardens or gardens with no fence or high trees to shelter it from harsh winds. It looks great planted in lines, along the edge of wide borders in big gardens, or as a stand alone shrub in small gardens. Height and spread: 1m (39).
Impressive displays of bright pink flowers appear from mid to late summer against a backdrop of yellow-green foliage. Japanese Spireas are an excellent choice for wildlife gardens as they are adored by butterflies and other beneficial insects. Spiraea japonica ?Green and Gold? is a robust deciduous shrub that is a worthy addition to any border, as it is low maintenance and very easy to grow. Height and spread: 120cm (48?).
