Gold Mound Spirea is popular for its outstanding golden-yellow foliage throughout the season. Fuzzy pink flowers are produced from late Spring into Summer atop the mounding foliage. If the faded flowers are sheared you can expect a repeat bloom. Useful as an accent, in small groups or massed, or as a border in landscape beds, islands and foundation plantings. A low-maintenance plant that will grow in a wide range of well-drained soils. Best foliage color in full sun. Very drought tolerant once established.
