Spirea japonica 'Neon Flash'

Neon Flash Japanese Spirea

Neon Flash is a fast-growing deciduous spirea with a neat, mounded form. Young foliage may show purple tones before becoming green; autumn leaves darken to burgundy. Bright red to rose-red flower clusters appear from late spring onward, with repeat bloom encouraged by trimming faded flowers.

Grow in full sun and well-drained soil. It suits low hedges and mass plantings and tolerates urban conditions.
