Spiraea x b. 'Goldflame'

A compact deciduous shrub with a mounded habit, this plant is prized for its vibrant foliage and seasonal color. Hardy in USDA zones 4-8, it prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained soil. New foliage emerges bronze-red in spring, transitions to bright golden-yellow in summer, and develops orange-red hues in fall, offering year-round interest. Clusters of small, rosy-pink flowers bloom in late spring to summer, attracting pollinators. It can reach a mature height of 3-4 feet with a similar spread and has moderate deer resistance. Ideal for borders, foundation plantings, or mass plantings, it adds a pop of color and texture to any landscape. Easy to care for, it tolerates urban conditions and light pruning for shape maintenance.
