Spiraea tomentosa-Steeplebush

Description

Typically associated with wetland meadow areas, but will grow well in upland soils; full to part sun. Spikes of frothy pink flowers attract lots of pollinators; fuzzy light green leaves; looks great planted in patches/drifts. Flowers for a few weeks starting in late July, after its close relative, meadow sweet.. Compared to Spiraea latifolia, this species doesn’t have as much of a “bushy girth”, that is, horizontal spread. Excellent pollinator plant.

12″-15″ tall in 1 gallon pots
