Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: For the brightest golden foliage, plant in full sun, which means at least six hours of direct light daily. While it can handle partial shade, the leaves will shift toward a lime green color and the plant will produce fewer pink flower clusters.
  • Soil: These shrubs thrive in well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If you have heavy clay, mix in some compost or aged bark to improve drainage, as "wet feet" can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Goldmound Spirea twice a week to ensure the root system becomes fully established. Once mature, these plants are quite drought tolerant, but providing a deep soak during mid summer dry spells prevents the leaf tips from browning. Inconsistent watering often leads to smaller flower heads and a less dense growth habit.

Pruning Tips

Since Goldmound Spirea blooms on new wood, you should prune it in late winter or very early spring before new growth appears. Use sharp shears to give the plant a "haircut" by shearing it into a neat mound, which encourages a flush of vibrant gold foliage and maximizes summer blooms. Removing the spent flowers in mid summer, a process called deadheading, often triggers a second smaller wave of blooms.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring as the leaf buds begin to swell. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, because this encourages tender new growth that will not have time to harden off before the first frost. This late season growth is easily damaged by freezing temperatures, which can stress the overall health of the shrub.

It is recommended that you shear right after flowering since deadheading leads to additional blooms later in the season.
