Spirea Goldflame

The Goldflame spirea will become an absolute gem in your yard. The compact and upright mounded shrub provides color throughout the growing season. As the leaves start to emerge, they flourish in yellow, rust, and copper-orange tones. Once those leaves mature, you will be treated to a display of yellowish-green colors.

The bright green foliage is not the only highlight of this shrub. You will notice rose-pink flowers in late spring to early summer. This shrub is a profuse bloomer, and it attracts bees and butterflies to your yard. Later in the summer, the flowers will rebloom for even more color. All you have to do is snip off the spent blooms and sit back for another round of color.

In the fall, this charming small shrub puts on a show of dazzling color. The foliage turns into orange and yellow shades, and it is definitely an eye-catcher in your yard. When other plants and shrubs are losing their color, this shrub provides a boost to your garden.

If you want a substantial foundation planting, then this spirea is an excellent choice. You can place the Goldflame spirea in front of dense evergreen shrubs to help brighten up the space.

At full maturity, this compact shrub has a spread and height of 3 to 4 feet.
