Spiraea
Spiraea is an ornamental shrub valued for its flexible, compact, or arching habit depending on the variety, its abundant white, pink, or reddish blooms, and its fine foliage that brings lightness, texture, and movement to landscaping. Forms such as Spiraea japonica, Spiraea vanhouttei, or Spiraea arguta are used in beds, informal hedges, borders, slopes, and structured plantings, in both residential gardens and professional landscape projects. Easy to establish in well-drained soil, in sun or light partial shade, spiraea offers good adaptability and requires little maintenance once established. Pruning Spiraea, carried out according to the flowering period, helps maintain a dense, balanced, and lasting shape.
