Description
Gold Mound Spirea sports the most stunning, bright-gold foliage of any shrub we’ve seen. Abundant clusters of fuzzy pink, butterfly-attracting flowers produced during the summer and the bright orange foliage in fall are extra-added bonuses! Gold Mound forms a dense rounded mound to 2 to 3 feet in height and 3 to 4 feet wide. A colorful accent in small garden spaces or in groupings or as a low border or hedge where space allows. Exceptionally drought tolerant when established and cold hardy to -30F. The foliage is more golden in full to most sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Combines nicely with plants or trees with deep green, blue, burgundy, red or purple foliage.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a low mound 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, Gold Mound Spirea is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces or in stunning groupings or as a border in larger landscape borders. Also excellent on sunny slopes or as an underplanting for small trees such as Japanese maples or Crape Myrtles, just make sure there’s enough sun exposure. Also nice as a front facing plant to taller evergreens in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to gold or yellow theme gardens, butterfly gardens, rock gardens, Asian gardens, rock gardens, perennial gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Spacing: 3 feet for mass plantings; 6 feet or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Japanese Spirea are very easy to grow in most any well-drained soil of average to fertility and full to mostly sun for the best foliage color. We suggest at least 6 hours or more of direct sunlight per day. Foliage will be chartreuse to light green in more shade. A light shearing of spent flowers after the summer bloom encourages heavier rebloom. Flowers on new wood, so prune in late winter to early spring if desired. Older plants can be cut back to the ground in late winter for rejuvenation.
