Description
Double Play Gold Spirea is a dense mounding deciduous shrub with oval sharp-toothed leaves that are bright gold and matures to chartreuse before turning orange and red in fall. Flat-topped clusters of hot pink flowers cover the plant in later spring to summer. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Removed spent flowers to encourage additional bloom.
