Spirea – Goldmound
Spiraea japonica 'Goldmound'
Goldmound Spirea is a colorful compact shrub prized for its vibrant golden-yellow foliage and soft pink summer blooms. Unlike many flowering shrubs, Goldmound provides season-long landscape color even when not in bloom thanks to its brilliant foliage. In late spring and summer, clusters of rosy-pink flowers appear above the bright foliage, attracting butterflies and pollinators. Its compact size and easy-care nature make it a popular choice for foundation plantings, landscape borders, mass plantings, and colorful garden accents throughout Wisconsin.
Height (2–3 ft.) Reaches a mature height of approximately 2 to 3 feet with a spread of 3 to 4 feet. Thrives in full sun where its foliage develops the brightest golden color. Produces clusters of pink flowers during summer and attracts butterflies and pollinators. Excellent for foundation plantings, borders, mass plantings, and landscape color contrast.
