Rosaceae
Spiraea betulifolia ‘Pink Sparkler’, commonly known as birchleaf spirea ‘Pink Sparkler’, is a compact deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, valued for its pink summer blossoms and ornamental foliage. In early summer, it produces domed corymbs of small, bright to deep pink flowers, which are melliferous and highly attractive to pollinators. Its dark green foliage, with oval leaves resembling those of a birch, forms a neat mass that turns beautiful purplish-red shades in autumn, extending its ornamental interest. Suitable for borders, beds, and naturalized gardens, this spirea is robust and easy to maintain. Spiraea betulifolia ‘Pink Sparkler’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure abundant flowering and intense autumn coloration.
