Spiraea vanhouttei Renaissance

Renaissance Spirea

Renaissance Bridalwreath Spirea (Spiraea × vanhouttei ‘Renaissance’) becomes a broad flowering shrub with abundant white blossoms in spring. Green foliage fills out the plant after the main floral display.

Selected for improved foliage disease resistance, it offers the familiar seasonal effect of bridalwreath spirea. Allow sufficient room for its mature spread, whether it is used as a specimen or part of an informal flowering border.

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