Spot On Spirea is a dense mounding deciduous shrub with bright green oval leaves that earn attractive maroon splotching as they mature and turns a vibrant mix of reds and oranges in fall. Rich pink buds open to large flattop panicles of soft pink flowers with rich pink and bloom heavily in early summer and sporadically throughout the rest of the season. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Removed spent flowers to encourage additional bloom.
