Spiraea japonica 'Dart's Red'
Spiraea japonica ‘Dart’s Red’ is a compact summer spiraea known for the exceptional intensity of its raspberry-red bloom. This deciduous shrub develops a rounded, dense habit, slightly wider than it is tall, forming a structured cushion ideal for borders, colorful beds, and foundation plantings. In summer, its large corymbs of vibrant carmine-red flowers abundantly cover the dark green foliage, creating a striking contrast and attracting pollinators. Its finely serrated foliage maintains an attractive appearance throughout the season and may take on a slight reddish hue in autumn. Very hardy and easy to maintain, Spiraea japonica ‘Dart’s Red’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure maximum flowering. It is an excellent choice for enlivening Nordic landscapes with color and vigor.
