Dakota Goldcharm® Spirea (Spiraea japonica 'Mertyann') has showy golden foliage that is accented by bright pink flowers blooming in early summer, repeating through the remainder of the season. The foliage emerges bronze, turns yellow-gold in summer and develops a pink-red fall color. The fine texture of these dense, twiggy shrubs looks fantastic all growing season!
Dakota Goldcharm Spirea is more or less a miniature version of Goldflame or Goldmound Spirea, with foliage that starts a deep red, fading to a yellowish green by late spring. You'll then be treated to some lovely fall color! In between spring and fall, the fluffy clusters of rosy purplish-pink blossoms attract loads of attention from you and your pollinator gardens!
Hardy in USDA growing zones 3-8 and do best in a wide range of growing conditions. Spirea are very resilient deciduous flowering shrubs! Small and compact, Dakota Goldcharm are also versatile shrubs for adding color and finery anywhere in the landscape!
Planting and Application:
This certainly is a plant to locate at the front of a planting bed, otherwise, it will be lost among the taller perennials and shrubs. Edge walkways and sidewalks, brighten your drive into your home. Plant a grouping on either side of your front steps to highlight your entry! You'll maximize the color by planting en masse or in long rows, along pathway or sidewalk that really catch the eye!
This mounded shrub grows 15-18 inches tall with a 2-3 foot spread. Since it is so small and compact, it can also be used as a groundcover. Space-saving size combined with fantastic color makes these great accents perfect for yards large or smaller gardens! That size also makes them fantastic container plants for around your patios and seating areas or dressing up a humdrum porch.
