Renaissance Bridalwreath Spirea | Spiraea x vanhouttei

Once common in every garden landscape the spirea has fallen somewhat out of favor, until now. This new cultivar is sure to bring about a Renaissance in the garden for this old fashioned beauty.

Once common in every garden landscape the spirea has fallen somewhat out of favor, until now. This new cultivar is sure to bring about a Renaissance in the garden for this old fashioned beauty. Long, slender, arching branches are filled with clusters of tiny white blooms in early spring on a 5 to 7 foot tall shrub with a spread of 6 to 8 feet. The foliage transforms from green to orange-red in fall. 

A low maintenance, deciduous shrub with a compact growth habit boasts a longer bloom period than old fashioned varieties. Would make a wonderful foundation planting or be used to soften the harsh look of a fence. May attain an adult size that would eventually be too large for any pot or container although it would be possible to do so. A pot or container at minimum of 3 feet high and 3 feet wide would be appropriate. Disease and deer resistant, winter hardy in zones 3 to 7.
