Plumtastic Spirea

Plumtastic Spirea (Spiraea japonica 'Plumtastic') is a compact deciduous shrub that offers a burst of color and interest in the garden. This delightful spirea typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet, making it a great choice for borders, foundation plantings, or mixed shrub beds. The name "Plumtastic" reflects the beautiful foliage that sets this variety apart. In spring, the leaves emerge in shades of deep purple, almost plum-like in color, adding a dramatic and eye-catching element to the garden. As the season progresses, the foliage matures to a rich green with plum-colored highlights. The contrast between the deep purple and green leaves creates a visually pleasing effect. Additionally, Plumtastic Spirea produces clusters of small pink flowers in early summer, which further enhances its ornamental appeal. This shrub is relatively easy to care for and provides a pop of color throughout the growing season, making it an attractive choice for gardeners looking to add some vibrant hues to their landscape.
