It requires full sun or partial shade (flowering and fall color may be reduced in shade). It has the perfect stature for narrow sideyards and courtyards because it grows only 5-6 feet tall and as wide, so it is ideally sized for foundation planting. It produces some white flowers and red fruits with age. It prefers moist, well-drained soil, but tolerates a range of conditions. ... more
Spirea - Sparkling Carpet Sparkling Carpet Spirea, spiraea japonica 'Sparkling Carpet' (PP13,665), is a fine-textured, small spreading shrub with lime-gold leaves. It looks like a tiny version of ‘Gold Flame’ and produces few pink flowers in summer. Sparkling Carpet prefers full sun, and this is one of the easiest shrubs to grow since it tolerates many soils, except extremely wet. No pruning is required. The leaves are bronze-red when young, then turn mahogany-red in fall. The plant also likes mulch and summer watering. Since it grows only 6-10 inches tall and 15-18 inches wide, it can be used as a groundcover or bedding plant! It would also be good for filling a space in a shrub border. Native to China and Japan. |
