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.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
- When to Prune
- Late winter to early spring, before new growth starts
