Rosaceae
Spiraea japonica 'Empire Ice Dragon', commonly known as Japanese Spiraea 'Empire Ice Dragon', is a compact deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, valued for its luminous white summer blooms and its great versatility in landscaping. In summer, it is covered with flat corymbs composed of small, pure white flowers, which are melliferous and very attractive to pollinators. Its medium green, finely toothed foliage forms a regular and neat mass that integrates perfectly into borders, rock gardens, and low beds. Light pruning in spring encourages more abundant flowering and maintains a compact silhouette. Spiraea japonica 'Empire Ice Dragon' prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure vigorous growth and generous flowering in cold climates.
