Strawberry Frosted Spirea is a dense mounding deciduous shrub with sharp-toothed apple green leaves that gave great fall color. Flat-topped clusters of rich pink flowers that earn an icy overlay as they age cover the plant throughout summer. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Removed spent flowers to encourage additional bloom. Strawberry Frosted has improved resistant to leaf spot.
