Spirea Goldflame

Spirea, is a dense, upright, mounded, deciduous shrub that typically grows 4-6’ tall with a slightly larger spread. Leaves (to 3” long) are oval and sharply-toothed. Tiny pink flowers in flat-topped clusters (corymbs) cover the foliage from late spring to mid-summer, with sparse and intermittent repeat bloom sometimes occurring. ‘Goldflame’ is noted for the changing colors of its foliage. Leaves emerge bronze-red in spring, mature to yellow-green by summer and finally acquire interesting yellow-orange-copper hues in fall. This is a compact, mounded-to-spreading cultivar that grows to 3-4’ tall with a somewhat irregular habit. Rose pink flowers in flattened corymbs (to 4-6” across) appear in late spring to early summer.
