Spiraea thunbergii 'Mellow Yellow'
Spiraea thunbergii ‘Mellow Yellow’, commonly known as Thunberg spirea ‘Mellow Yellow’, is a deciduous shrub with a finely branched and slightly arching habit, prized for its bright yellow foliage and early flowering. In early spring, before or at the same time as the leaves emerge, it is covered with a multitude of small, pure white flowers grouped along the branches, creating a very decorative airy effect. Its narrow, almost thread-like foliage emerges golden yellow in spring, turns chartreuse green in summer, then takes on coppery orange hues in autumn. Light and graceful, Spiraea thunbergii ‘Mellow Yellow’ is ideal in beds, borders, or informal hedges. It prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maintain the intensity of its coloration.
