Description
Spiraea japonica ‘Golden Elf’ is a dwarf spirea with particularly bright golden-yellow foliage. This deciduous shrub develops a very compact, much wider than tall habit, forming a dense cushion ideal for rockeries and low borders. Its golden foliage maintains a beautiful intensity in full sun, creating an attractive contrast with its corymbs of bright pink flowers in summer. Very hardy and easy to maintain, it requires little pruning and tolerates various types of well-drained soils. Spiraea japonica ‘Golden Elf’ is an excellent choice for small gardens seeking lasting color and structure.
