Hot pink flower clusters rise above the bright gold foliage of the compact Double Play Gold Spirea (Spiraea japonica 'Yan'). This small mounded spirea plays a thriller role in garden containers, beds or borders. The season-long color begins as the leaves emerge each spring and flowers join the color burst in summer. The bright yellow foliage alone makes this spirea a unique complement to green-leafed plants in your landscape.

Perfect for a low border or companion for a taller shrub, Double Play Gold Spirea grows to about 2 feet tall and wide in a neat mounded form. The versatile little shrub can thrive in colder areas of zone 3 and take the heat of up to zone 8. It adds all-season color when mixed with other shrubs in garden beds or as a low mass planting for a groundcover effect. The pink flowers attract hummingbirds, but the shrub is deer resistant.

Double Play Gold Spirea Care

This spirea is an easy-care thriller for containers or in the landscape. Choose a planting or container location for Double Gold Spirea that gets at least 4 to 6 hours of sun a day. It can take a little shade but also loves the sun. Applying a controlled-release fertilizer in the spring helps boost blooming. The spirea needs little or no pruning, but you can lightly trim the shrub or deadhead old flowers to encourage reblooming.

Double Play Gold Spirea Spacing

If you want a bright gold border near a sidewalk or driveway, space the plants 2 to 3 feet apart. Be sure to place your Double Play Artisan Spirea shrubs where you can enjoy the sun hitting the bright gold leaves and pink flowers.

    My Gold Spirea?

    Posted by gary pankratz on Jul 27, 2023

    I've been struggling to get my Gold Spirea to survive. Right out of the box 2 of them looked like they were deteriorating. I planted them, watered them and looked like they were doing better. I may have watered a little too much and some of the others didn't look like they were doing well so I tapered off with a little less water. We got heavy rain the other night. When I went to check them next day they looked terrible? maybe too much water is bad also?..Gary

    Double Play Gold Spirea

    Posted by Helen Hagen on Jun 22, 2019

    I was shocked when these bushes arrived. They were only about 5 inches high by 5 inches wide. I had recently bought four of these shrubs at a local nursery for the same price I paid for these and they were five times the size of these. I did not see anything in the description regarding the delivered size, and I was unhappy when they arrived. It will take five years for them to grow big enough to fill the space where I have planted them. I feel like I was scammed having to pay $29.95 for these tiny shrubs. I definitely will not use your business again.

    My friend recommended that I check out this website. She told me there was some really cool plants, and really good pictures so it was easy to tell what you were getting. I ordered 1 of these plants to give them a shot. I was a little wary since there were no reviews on this plant, but decided to take a chance since it was pretty cheap. Plant arrived in great shape. It did take longer to get to me than I was hoping. So that's why I'm only giving 4 stars. I'll be a customer again though. I just need to plan ahead better next time. but it is hard to wait!
