Description:
An unusual garden shrub that features highly attractive flat-topped flowers in combinations of deep rose, pink and white,that bloom in early summer; makes an ideal color accent or garden detail shrub.

Shirobana Spirea produces stunning clusters of pink flowers with white overtones from distinctive rose flower buds from late spring to mid summer The bluish-green foliage throughout the summer turns into an outstanding coppery-bronze in the fall.

Shirobana Spirea is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.

This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. Like all spirea it is good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer

Shirobana Spirea will grow to be about 30 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 30 inches. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments.
