Going after a colorful shrub that’ll all brilliant hues from the spring all the way through fall? The Double Play Big Bang Spirea is your answer! While this shrub will attract plenty of attention with its gorgeous aesthetics, it’s also known for enticing butterflies, which will add a lively appeal to any landscaping plan.

Generally on the smaller side, the Double Play Big Bang Spirea generally grows to 2’-3’ tall and anywhere from 2’-3’ wide. Blooms are quite long in length, spanning from the spring clear through the fall. This shrub’s foliage is part of the plant’s intrigue - initially appearing as a bright orange, there’s a slow transition to a glowing yellow for the summer months, then tapers back to a lovely rich orange in at the end of the blooming season. The Double Play Big Bang Spirea’s size lends itself to a variety of uses, optimally being used in containers, borders, firescaping, and mass plants.

Double Play Big Bang Spirea Care

Care is incredibly simple with this shrub, as it’s capable of thriving in nearly any soil condition. However, ensure that the Double Play Big Bang Spirea has access to partial sun at a minimum, although full sun is best. Also, put this shrub on a regular watering schedule, and increase to bi-weekly watering if planted in an extremely warm climate. To encourage full growth, deadhead after flowering and apply a controlled-release fertilizer in the spring.

Double Play Big Bang Spirea Spacing

Like most shrubs, spacing is at the discretion of the plant’s use. For containers, allow 2’-3’ between each plant, but narrow that distance slightly if used in borders or in mass plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
