Japanese Spirea 'Goldflame'
FamilyRosaceae
Spiraea japonica ‘Goldflame’ is a summer spirea prized for its evolving colorful foliage and sustained pink blossoms. This deciduous shrub develops a rounded shape, slightly wider than it is tall, perfect for bright beds and borders. Its young foliage emerges coppery red in spring, turns golden yellow in summer, then takes on orange hues in autumn. In summer, corymbs of vibrant pink flowers elegantly contrast with the golden foliage. Hardy and easy to grow, it prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil to maximize color intensity.
