Description

Spiraea japonica 'Shirobana' is a rare and unusual variety capable of producing white, pink, and red flowers simultaneously on the same plant, creating a unique bi- or tri-color effect. Its rounded, dense growth habit, combined with its dark green foliage, makes it an excellent choice for low hedges, borders, or pastel-themed designs. Very hardy, easy to prune, and very floriferous, it offers long-lasting appeal with a touch of permanent floral surprise.
