Birchleaf Spirea
Spiraea
With attractive foliage and a graceful habit, these hardy, deciduous flowering shrubs belong to the Rose family, and are easily grown in any fertile, somewhat moisture-retentive garden soil.
A standout Spiraea ‘Tor’ sport discovered in the Netherlands, this fulgent 2008 introduction bears densely woven twigs lined with petite, lance-shaped and toothed leaves that emerge bright yellow, then turn chartreuse. Butterfly-friendly flat-topped clusters of tiny, 5-petaled white blooms unfurling from copious pink-blushed buds illuminate the trim rounded mound. Enriched by spectacular cardinal, tangerine and plum fall colors, easy-care ‘Tor Gold’ keeps a low-growing cold-hardy profile, whether hedged, massed in mixed borders and foundation plantings, or featured as a deciduous specimen in rockeries, cottage gardens and containers.
