{"product_id":"spirea-2-gal-tor-birchleaf-88038","title":"Spirea, 2 gal, Tor Birchleaf","description":"The 'Tor' Birchleaf Spirea (Spiraea betulifolia 'Tor') is a low-maintenance, compact deciduous shrub with four-season interest, including white spring flowers and brilliant fall foliage. \r\nFoliage: Features dense, birch-like dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop during the growing season. In the fall, the foliage transforms into striking shades of orange, red, and purple.\r\nFlowers: In late spring to early summer, the shrub is covered in flat clusters of tiny, creamy-white flowers that are attractive to butterflies.\r\nSize: A compact, rounded shrub, typically growing to about 2–3 feet (60-90 cm) tall and wide at maturity.\r\nHardiness: Exceptionally cold-hardy, suitable for USDA Zones 3–9.\r\nLight: Performs best in full sun (at least six hours daily) to ensure the best flower display and vibrant fall color, though it can tolerate partial shade.\r\nSoil: Easily grown in average, medium-moisture, well-drained soils and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, including clay. It does not thrive in very wet sites.\r\nMaintenance: Low maintenance and deer resistant. It blooms on new wood, so prune in late winter or early spring if needed.\r\nPruning: Removing faded flower clusters (light shearing) after the first bloom can encourage a second round of flowers.
