Spiraea x vanhouttei 'Renaissance'

This deciduous shrub exhibits a graceful, fountain-like habit, forming an arching shape that reaches a mature height of 5-8 feet with a similar spread. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-8, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil types, provided they are well-drained. Its spring blooms are a stunning display of small, white flowers that cluster along its arching branches, creating a cascading effect. The foliage emerges a fresh green, turning to shades of yellow to burgundy in the fall, providing multi-season interest. While not deer-resistant, it is a low-maintenance option for borders, hedges, or mass plantings. It is drought-tolerant once established and performs best in average soil with moderate moisture levels. Ideal for accentuating garden pathways or as a standalone ornamental shrub.
