Rosaceae
Spiraea × vanhouttei is a classic hybrid spirea, valued for its spectacular cascading white spring blossoms that completely cover its long, arching branches. It forms a large, bushy shrub, wide and spreading, often broader than it is tall, ideal for informal hedges, flowering screens, or as a specimen plant. Its bluish-green, finely toothed foliage sometimes takes on yellow to purple hues in the autumn. Very hardy, tolerant of pruning, temporary drought, and poor soils, it is a staple in traditional and naturalistic landscaping. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, Spiraea × vanhouttei offers abundant floral presence, followed by light, pleasant foliage throughout the season.
