Spiraea j. 'Little Princess'

A compact, mounded shrub with a tidy appearance, this plant thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4-8 and prefers full sun to partial shade. It features a dense habit, reaching a mature height of 18-24 inches and a similar spread. The delicate pink flowers bloom profusely in late spring to summer, creating a lovely contrast against the finely textured green foliage that turns golden to bronze in the fall. Adaptable to a variety of soil types, it prefers well-drained soil and tolerates some drought once established. This low-maintenance shrub demonstrates good deer resistance, making it a great choice for borders, mass plantings, or small garden spaces. Its neat shape and manageable size also lend it well to foundation plantings.
