Spirea, Latin name spiraea, is a deciduous shrub popular for its decorative appeal with long lasting blooms, speedy growth, hardiness, and tolerance in a wide range of climate conditions. This shrub is also easy to grow and maintain, making it perfect for various usage in landscaping and gardens. Spirea is also very pollinator friendly, and will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It will grow well in open, sunny areas in most soils except extremely wet areas.
