Mini Gold Spirea

For a bright, little pop of color all season long, rely on the Mini Gold Spirea (Spiraea japonica 'Mini Gold') - a small shrub that is tiny, but mighty! Bright, sunny yellow foliage throughout the growing season brightens up your landscape. The flowers are attractive and cover the foliage from late spring to mid-summer. Mini Gold is a miniature version of the deciduous Goldmound Spirea. You might also hear Mini Gold called Dwarf Goldmound.

Soon after the season begins, tiny pink flowers in flat-topped clusters appear on each branch tip. Spiraea are powerful little flower factories that bloom for months, something we're sure you and your pollinators will fully appreciate! There is always something going on with this fine-textured compact shrub. From the bright yellow foliage to the reblooming pink flowers; the rounded Mini Gold Spirea is a win-win for your landscape.

The sunny leaves emerge golden in spring and turn eye-catching chartreuse over the summer. The foliage color deepens in the autumn to a rich gold. The leaves are a perfect contrast to the clear pink of the sweet clusters of blooms. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4-8 and only grow to a dwarf 18 inches tall and a bit wider.

Planting and Application:

Get ready for the butterflies to come for a visit. They adore the wide landing pads of the flat flowers. Mini Gold gives them an easy source of nectar so be sure to include these in your pollinator and cottage borders! There are so many ways to use these fantastic shrubs. Run them around the outside of a planting bed or in porch pots and patio containers! Of course, you'll want to repeat them all along your mixed borders. But, you might also be surprised how effectively they will work in a Rock Garden.

As the name suggests, Mini Gold is a petite, rounded plant. It stays put and won't outgrow its place, so it makes a perfect accent for foundation plantings. Use this diminutive shrub just about anywhere you need more color. It fits neatly along the edge of garden beds or en mass for an incredibly bright space-saving swath color. Plant them 18 inches on center for a neat and tidy low hedge. Measure from the center of the first to the center of the next.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Provide Spirea a full sun location, but in hotter climates, these can handle a touch of afternoon shade. Give them a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Mulch over the root system to keep it nice, cool, and moist. Once Mini Gold is established after the first season, it's really so easy to grow. It can be grown in a wide range of soils, although really does prefer well-drained soil. The flower buds emerge on new wood, so prune in late winter to early spring to shape, if needed. An early spring haircut before it starts to grow and a bit of deadheading and you'll be rewarded with plenty of flowers and colorful foliage during the whole growing season.

• Tough Tolerant & Loves Full Sun

• Prune Early Spring/Deadhead After Flowering
