Spirea x bumalda 'Anthony Waterer'

Anthony Waterer Spirea

Anthony Waterer spirea has flat clusters of deep pink-red flowers above a compact, mounded framework. New leaves show reddish tints before settling to green, with further warm color possible in autumn.

Its structure combines broad growth and dense branching. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring red tones.

Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide humus-rich, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
