Spiraea japonica 'Anthony Waterer'
Spiraea japonica 'Anthony Waterer' is a compact deciduous shrub with a rounded and slightly spreading habit, valued for its vibrant carmine-pink summer flowers in flattened corymbs, held above the foliage. The foliage emerges in spring with purplish hues, turns bluish-green in summer, then takes on reddish colors in autumn. This spirea forms a dense, low, and well-branched bush, ideal for mass plantings, low hedges, or structuring borders. It tolerates pruning well, temporary drought, and poor soils, making it a very versatile and easy-to-grow landscape plant. ‘Anthony Waterer’ flowers on new wood and tolerates spring pruning well, making it a reliable choice for consistent blooms and decorative foliage from spring to autumn.
