Providing long-lasting color from spring to fall, Spiraea Double Play Big Bang® (Spirea) is a bushy deciduous shrub with glowing orange leaves in spring, maturing to bright yellow as the summer progresses. The foliage of serrated, ovate leaves turns vibrant shades of brick-orange in the fall. In summer, massive clusters of pink flowers grace the tips of the branches. Perfect for contrasting and brightening the landscape, this spirea cultivar is a wonderful choice for borders and containers. Great as a low hedge too!
