Japanese Spirea 'White Gold'
FamilyRosaceae
Spiraea japonica ‘White Gold’ is a compact summer-flowering spirea prized for its bright golden foliage and delicate white blooms. This deciduous shrub develops a rounded, dense habit, slightly wider than it is tall, making it ideal for borders, colorful mass plantings, and foundation plantings. Its golden-yellow foliage in spring maintains a beautiful brightness all summer long, creating an elegant contrast with its pure white corymbs of flowers that appear in early summer. Highly floriferous and easy to care for, this spirea attracts pollinators while maintaining a neat silhouette without excessive pruning. Hardy and adaptable, Spiraea japonica ‘White Gold’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maintain the intensity of its coloration. It is an excellent choice for enlivening northern landscapes.
