Spiraea japonica ‘Golden Princess’, commonly known as Golden Princess Spirea, is a compact deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, prized for its bright golden foliage and abundant summer flowering. In spring, its young leaves emerge a vibrant golden yellow, then mature to a chartreuse yellow in summer, maintaining a beautiful intensity in full sun. From late spring to summer, it is covered with flat corymbs composed of small, deep pink flowers, which are nectar-rich and attractive to pollinators. Ideal for borders, rockeries, or low mass plantings, it tolerates spring pruning well, which encourages more generous flowering and a compact habit. Spiraea japonica ‘Golden Princess’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maintain the brilliance of its foliage and ensure vigorous growth.
