Spirea Tor

Tor Spirea

Tor Birchleaf Spirea (Spiraea betulifolia ‘Tor’) forms a compact, rounded shrub with green leaves and a late-spring covering of white flower clusters. Its small proportions make the flowers easy to see across the whole plant.

The leaves develop orange, red, and purple tones in fall, extending the display beyond the flowering season. Use it in a low shrub border or repeated group where the rounded outline and autumn color can stand out.

Grow in sun or partial shade, allowing room for the shrub to reach its full width. Water during establishment.
