The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Proven Winners® Double Play Dolly® Spirea

Hello Dolly! The Double Play Dolly® Spirea PP#35,032 (Spiraea x 'SMNSJSA') from Proven Winners® is a dazzling, easy-care shrub that delivers multi-season interest with vibrant foliage and bold pink blooms. This reblooming Spirea showcases fiery orange new growth in spring, which matures to a lush golden yellow, creating a striking contrast with its pollinator-friendly bright magenta-pink flower clusters in early summer.

True to its name, this shrub plays double duty with its colorful foliage and continuous blooms, adding long-lasting beauty to your landscape. Its fine-textured, lance-shaped leaves remain golden yellow throughout the growing season, taking on hints of red and orange in the fall for another burst of seasonal color.

Compact and well-behaved, Double Play Dolly® Spirea forms a rounded, mounding habit, growing 18-30 inches tall and wide. This dwarf Spirea is perfect for adding warm hues and structure to gardens without overwhelming other plants.
