Spiraea japonica 'Double Play Candy Corn'
Spiraea japonica ‘Double Play Candy Corn’ is a Japanese spirea with a strong ornamental impact, prized for its flamboyant foliage and summer flowering. From spring onwards, young leaves emerge orange-red before turning bright golden yellow, punctuated with orange and red hues during the season, providing a continuous colorful spectacle in the garden. In late spring and early summer, an abundance of purple to violet flowers offers a remarkable contrast with the foliage. This small, deciduous, rounded shrub is ideal for beds, borders, or containers, attracting bees and butterflies while being deer resistant. It thrives in sun to partial shade in well-drained soil, with average growth and hardiness down to -30°C, making it suitable for a wide range of climates.
