Reliable and easy-to-grow Spiraea japonica ‘Double Play Gold’ is the ideal choice for beginners, thriving in most conditions and putting on an effortless display of colour throughout the summer months. Extending the season, the vivid golden-green leaves emerge with an orange tint in spring and then develop attractive hues of pink and purple in autumn. Masses of clusters of hot-pink flowers cover the plant during summer, attracting bees and butterflies. This compact spiraea grows to an eventual height of just 60cm, making it the perfect choice for filling a smaller space in the border or for growing in small gardens. Grow Spiraea in a sunny position, in any fertile, moist, well-drained soil. For best performance, prune Spiraea japonica cultivars in early spring, before the new leaves develop. Reduce all growth back by about a third to a permanent framework. Position: Full Sun Height: Up to 60cm when fully established Spread: Up to 60cm when fully established Supplied as 2 x Sp
