Spiraea japonica 'Gold Mound' is a compact, deciduous shrub with fresh, lime green foliage and panicles of pink and white florets in summer. It is best planted in a full sun or partial sun position, but can grow fine in exposed areas, making it ideal for coastal gardens or gardens with no fence or high trees to shelter it from harsh winds. It looks great planted in lines, along the edge of wide borders in big gardens, or as a stand alone shrub in small gardens. Height and spread: 1m (39).
