Description
Spiraea japonica ‘Empire Yeti’, commonly known as Japanese Spiraea ‘Empire Yeti’, is a compact, deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, valued for its bright white summer flowers and ease of maintenance. Unlike traditional Japanese spiraeas with pink flowers, this selection produces flat corymbs composed of small, pure white flowers in summer, which are nectar-rich and very attractive to pollinators. Its finely toothed, medium-green foliage forms a regular mass, ideal for borders, rockeries, or low beds. Light pruning in spring encourages more abundant flowering and maintains a compact habit. Spiraea japonica ‘Empire Yeti’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure generous flowering and vigorous growth in cold climates.
