Spiraea × arguta 'Compacta'
Spiraea × arguta ‘Compacta’, commonly known as compact spirea, is a deciduous shrub with an arching habit but more compact than the species type, valued for its abundant spring flowering and neat silhouette. From early spring, its slender branches are covered with a multitude of small, pure white flowers arranged along the stems, creating a luminous, very decorative cascading effect. Its light green, finely toothed foliage forms a dense and regular mass that maintains a beautiful appearance all summer before turning slightly yellow in autumn. Ideal for informal hedges, mass plantings, or as a specimen plant, this spirea offers an elegant structure in medium-sized gardens. Spiraea × arguta ‘Compacta’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure generous flowering and harmonious development.
