Spirea 'Vanhouttei'

Every spring this shrub will amaze you with its elongated branches that are covered from top to bottom in white blooms.

This spirea is a perfect specimen for hedges or other privacy screens. The mounding habit and weeping branches allow for good coverage... even when the hedge is dormant in the winter.

The small white blooms clump together to form large masses along the entire length of each branch in the spring... it looks as if a small explosion of white flowers came from the center of this shrub.

In the summer months, the dark green foliage adds another accent to your home garden. And then when you think the last bit of color has been squeezed out, fall comes around and the entire shrub turns to golden yellow.

Plant in rows spaced 3 feet apart for a full screen, or space farther for a great accent plant along driveways & property borders.

Spirea is naturally drought tolerant and takes well to any soil condition. Plant in the full sun, and spirea will reward you with a carpet of white in the spring.

We recommend that you do not prune this shrub... as the weeping branches will have a much greater appeal than pruned ones. But, for those who have to keep their hedges tidy, spirea will always bloom no matter when you cut.

Your Spirea comes with a well-developed root system that is ready to explode with blooms. We grow ours up to a year longer than our competitors, so you don't have to wait. Order now while these large sizes are available.
