Spiraea japonica 'Goldflame' | Goldflame Japanese Spirea

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Spiraea japonica 'Goldflame' produces flat-topped clusters of rosy pink flowers in late spring through summer, held just above the foliage in dense, rounded sprays. Oval leaves emerge coppery orange, maturing to golden yellow and then soft green, creating a layered effect of shifting color through the season. The foliage forms a dense, finely textured canopy that supports the flower clusters, which attract pollinators and provide a long-lasting display.

Originating from a species native to Japan, this cultivar reflects garden selection for vivid foliage color and extended bloom. It is well suited to borders, mass plantings, and foundation plantings, where its changing foliage tones and summer flowers contribute steady seasonal interest.
