 spirea gold moundType
Shrub, groundcover, woody plant Hardy range 5B to 7BHeight 36" to 4' / 90cm to 1.20m Spread 36" to 4' / 90cm to 1.20m Growth rate Average Form Rounded and spreading or horizontal Exposure Full sun Persistence Deciduous Bloom Color Pink Bloom Time Spring and Summer Culture Notes Spirea grows best in full sun or high shifting shade. Plants receiving less than 4 or 5 hours of direct sun become thin and flower poorly. Plant on 4 to 5-foot centers to form a mass planting. As with other light colored-flowering plants, place in front of other green foliage plants or other dark background to show the best flower display. Spireas combine well with ornamental grasses and plants with large foliage. Remove spent seed heads and developing seed heads to improve the neat look of the plants. Holds golden yellow foliage color longer than 'Goldflame' and can be grown reasonably well in the south. Keep fertilized for best growth and flowering. Pests, Diseases and Damaging Agents Pests: None of major concern. Spirea aphid causes leaf curling and is usually found on the shoot tips or in flower clusters. Oblique-banded leaf roller rolls and webs the leaves together. Inspect the stems of unhealthy-looking shrubs for scales. Diseases: None of major concern. Fireblight causes the leaves to appear scorched. A leaf spot may infect the leaves. Powdery mildew forms a white coating on the leaves. |
