It is an extremely cold-hardy (Zone 2 or 3) and low-maintenance option for Canadian gardens. \r\nFoliage: The main attraction, its leaves, emerge a bright coppery-orange in spring, mature to a fresh, deep green with bronze tips in summer, and turn outstanding shades of yellow in the fall.\r\nForm \u0026amp; Size: It grows in a very tidy, naturally rounded form, typically reaching a compact height of 2–3 feet and a spread of 3–4 feet. This self-shaping habit means minimal pruning is required to maintain its ball shape.\r\nFlowers \u0026amp; Fruit: This variety is noted for sparsely blooming, with limited, inconspicuous creamy-white flowers, which helps it maintain its dense, round form throughout the growing season.\r\nHardiness: Rated for USDA Hardiness Zones 2 or 3, making it very resilient in the harsh Canadian climate.\r\nMaintenance: It's a vigorous, low-maintenance plant that is tolerant of urban pollution and has few pest or disease issues. Gardeners should be aware of its potential for suckering. \r\nSunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Full sun is recommended for the best foliage color and density.\r\nSoil \u0026amp; Water: Prefers average to moist conditions and should not be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH.\r\nPruning: Best pruned in late winter to early spring to remove any dead wood or manage the size, though its natural shape requires little intervention","brand":"Aubin Nurseries Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49707087986928,"sku":"73942","price":27.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/3617\/4760\/files\/73942-1.jpg?v=1780773986","url":"https:\/\/floralacres.ca\/products\/spirea-2-gal-false-spirea-matcha-ball-87973","provider":"Floral Acres Greenhouse \u0026 Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
