Spiraea (Spirea, Meadowsweet)​

Spireas are a highly useful group of tough landscape plants.
Their tolerance of pollution make them an excellent choice for urban landscapes.
Most will tolerate drought once established and can handle some light shade.
We recommend a soft shear after flowering to encourage rebloom and maintain a tidy habit.
