Family Rosaceae

Spiraea japonica ‘Poprocks Petite’, commonly known as Japanese Spiraea ‘Poprocks Petite’, is a dwarf deciduous shrub with a very compact and rounded habit, ideal for borders, rockeries, and low mass plantings. Its young foliage emerges coppery red in spring before turning dark green in summer, creating an attractive contrast with its abundant bloom. From late spring to summer, it is covered with flat corymbs composed of small, deep pink flowers, which are melliferous and very popular with pollinators. Its dense silhouette maintains a neat shape without significant pruning, but can be lightly cut back in spring to encourage an even more generous bloom. Spiraea japonica ‘Poprocks Petite’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure vibrant color and prolonged flowering.
