Spiraea japonica 'Sparkling Carpet'
Spiraea japonica ‘Sparkling Carpet’, commonly known as Japanese Spiraea ‘Sparkling Carpet’, is a dwarf deciduous shrub with a compact and spreading habit, ideal for borders, rockeries, and low mass plantings. Its young foliage emerges coppery red in spring, then evolves into a luminous golden green in summer, offering a decorative contrast throughout the season. In summer, it is covered with flat corymbs composed of small, bright pink, melliferous flowers that are very attractive to pollinators. Easy to maintain and tolerant of pruning, it can be lightly cut back in spring to stimulate abundant flowering. Spiraea japonica ‘Sparkling Carpet’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maintain the intensity of its foliage and ensure generous flowering.
