Description
Spiraea japonica 'Rainbow Fizz' is a compact summer spirea notable for its variegated foliage and vibrant pink blooms. This deciduous shrub develops a rounded, dense habit, slightly wider than it is tall, making it ideal for borders, colorful beds, and foundation plantings. Its blue-green foliage edged with cream offers lasting decorative interest, while its new shoots sometimes take on a pinkish hue in spring. In summer, corymbs of bright pink flowers contrast elegantly with the luminous variegation. Easy to maintain and very hardy, Spiraea japonica 'Rainbow Fizz' prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maximize coloration and flowering. It is an excellent choice for enlivening northern landscapes with texture and color.
