Goldflame Spirea

The Goldflame Spirea is one of the most colorful shrubs available, particularly in cold zones. Dome-shaped, it reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, and the foliage color is ever-changing. The new growth in spring is fiery bronzy-red, quickly turning bright yellow. Then it cools down to yellow-green for summer, before bouncing back in fall with a kaleidoscope of gold, orange, and coppery-red. Use it around your garden to brighten up your beds in every seasons, and to create beautiful edgings that really finish them beautifully. Grow it in planters, among rocks, and on slopes and banks. Wherever you plant it you will love it.
