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.
