Spirea Fairy Queen
Fairy Queen Spirea
Fairy Queen is a compact deciduous spirea with dark green, lobed leaves and abundant flat clusters of white flowers in spring. Upright to arching branches give the shrub a rounded outline.
Use moist, well-drained soil. It fits foundation beds and smaller landscapes, and becomes more drought tolerant once established. Flowers attract butterflies.
