Type: Deciduous Shrub
Exposure: Full Sun / Light Shade
Water: Regular

This small shrub from Japan and China has sharply toothed, oval leaves, which emerge a reddish bronze color (bottom photo), then turn yellowish green to yellow as they mature. Large clusters of single pink flowers emerge between summer and fall, which are attractive to butterflies. This is one of the smaller varieties of Spirea japonica, reaching only 1.5-2.5ft (45-75cm) high and wide.
