The Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea is a hardy shrub that thrives in intense summer weather while looking fantastic. This Spiraea japonica has pinkish-purple flowers that bloom in clusters and put on a dazzling summertime display. The lemony-yellow foliage adds a burst of color to a space, turning a staggering shade of bright red during the fall.

This Spirea makes an excellent mass planting, edging along a walkway, or foundation planting. Include Pineapple Poprocks® in a mixed bed for a bold pop of color. The naturally compact form works well in a formal or manicured landscape. The Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea is heat tolerant for use in hot climates. This pet-friendly shrub supports pollinators but is deer resistant.

Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea Care

Plant the Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea in full sun. Spirea plants are not particular about soil as long as it drains well. Water deeply and consistently for the first year. Established plants thrive in damp, but never soggy, conditions. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer each spring.

Prune as needed after the flowers fade by late summer or early fall. A late summer pruning may encourage another flush of flowers. Give the shrub a rejuvenating trim in the spring as needed to promote a bushy form.

Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea Spacing

The Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea shrub stands 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Space shrubs 2 to 3 feet apart when creating a continuous planting.
