Spiraea betulifolia
Spiraea betulifolia, commonly known as birchleaf spirea, is a compact deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, recognized for its robustness and delicate summer bloom. In early summer, it produces domed corymbs composed of small pure white to cream-colored flowers, which are melliferous and attractive to pollinators. Its dark green foliage, formed of oval leaves resembling those of a birch, creates a uniform mass during the season, then transforms into a spectacular mix of red, purple, and orange in autumn. Very hardy and adaptable, Spiraea betulifolia is perfectly suited for borders, mass plantings, and naturalized plantings. It prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to offer abundant flowering and intense autumnal coloration in cold climates.
