Also known as Spiraea cantoniensis, this shrub features snow white, 5-petaled flowers with a hint of pink in the spring. The flowers grow in pom pom-like clusters that line arching branches, giving the shrub a fountain-like appearance. The green leaves turn spectacular shades of golden yellow and deep red by fall. 

Feature this ornamental beauty in a mixed bed or border. Use it to create a privacy hedge or define different areas of a backyard. This deciduous shrub is heat and drought tolerant, making it a good choice for a challenging landscape or hands-off gardeners. Reeves Spirea is pollinator friendly and supports butterflies.

Prune Reeves Spirea after the flowers fade. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the shrub to protect the roots from cold weather.
