Spiraea japonica 'White Gold'
Japanese Spirea
Plant Type:
DECIDUOUS SHRUBSSpiraea japonica 'White Gold' - A sunny yellow mound of foliage studded with pure milk-white flattened domes of dense florets. The foliage remains golden yellow all through the growing season when set in full sun. Easy, striking, beautiful and useful (sounds like the perfect dream date, employee or tainted politician.) It's our favorite - the shrub, not the politician. Though 'White Gold' is likely a shrub of garden origin the specie is Japanese. Its foliage is genuinely striking and the shrub is exceptionally beautiful when in flower. Fertile ground in full to half sun. Established potted Spiraea from cutting.
