Spiraea japonica 'Magic Carpet'
Spiraea japonica ‘Magic Carpet’ is a compact summer spirea renowned for its evolving colorful foliage and sustained pink blooms. This deciduous shrub develops a low, dense habit, growing significantly wider than it is tall, forming a structured cushion ideal for borders, mass plantings, and foundation plantings. Its young foliage emerges orange-red in spring, turns bright golden yellow in summer, then takes on coppery hues in autumn, ensuring continuous decorative interest. In summer, corymbs of vibrant pink flowers elegantly contrast with the golden foliage and attract pollinators. Very hardy and easy to care for, Spiraea japonica ‘Magic Carpet’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maximize the intensity of its coloration. It is an excellent choice for enlivening Nordic landscapes.
