Spirea japonica alpina
Daphne Japanese Spirea
Alpina Spirea (Spiraea japonica var. alpina) forms a low, broad mound of blue-green leaves. Rose-pink flower clusters sit above the foliage, giving the planting a soft patch of color.
Its spreading proportions suit the front of a sunny border.
Grow in sun. Remove the brown seed heads when a tidier appearance is wanted.
