A low maintenance shrub that is sure to become a landscape favorite with its thrilling season of color, in both foliage and flower. Like all of the Double Play® spirea series, the show begins in early spring, when the foliage emerges a rich burgundy colour. By late spring, a stunning explosion of crimson-red blooms - the first and only of any spirea - appear above the bright green leaves. Perfect for mass plantings or mixed shrub borders. A Proven Winners® Color Choice® variety.
General Maintenance: Prune in early spring up to 1/3 of growth to reshape and rejuvenate. Remove spent flowers to promote continuous bloom. Light: Partial sun to full sun. Shelter from harsh afternoon sun. Best leaf colour in full sun. Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency. Soil: Provide well-drained, enriched soil. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. Fertilizer: Feed in early spring with an all purpose fertilizer prior to the new growth.
