1 Spiraea Goldflame Plant, Hardy Japanese Spirea Flowering Shrub, Garden Ready, 17cm Root-Ball

Spiraea japonica 'Goldflame' is a compact, mound-forming deciduous shrub prized for its striking seasonal foliage and clusters of pretty pink summer flowers. New leaves emerge in shades of bronze and copper-red in spring, maturing to a warm golden-yellow before turning soft green through summer. In autumn, the foliage takes on rich tones of copper, orange and red, providing multi-season interest in any garden setting.

From early to mid-summer, flat clusters of deep rose-pink flowers appear at the tips of the stems, attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. This easy-to-grow shrub is ideal for mixed borders, low informal hedging, container planting or as a colourful focal point in smaller gardens. It thrives in most well-drained soils and requires minimal maintenance beyond an annual prune in early spring to encourage fresh, vibrant new growth.
