Spiraea japonica Zen'Spirit® Caramel 'MINSPIZ02'
Seductive caramel-orange foliage growing in the form of an inviting cushion
The Spiraea japonica Zen'Spirit® Caramel is a small bush with a compact habit that forms dense, rounded cushions. This new variety is notable for its young caramel-orange foliage that persists for several weeks in spring before turning green. Pruning will encourage a repeat performance. In autumn the foliage develops beautiful red tints. Its flowering is typical of Japanese Spiraea: in summer the bouquets of flowers in purple-pink corymbs emerge above the foliage. Once well-established, it tolerates brief periods of drought and a little lime. Zen'Spirit® Caramel is an easy plant that requires limited attention. It grows to a limited height (40 to 60 cms). Its restrained development makes it ideal for rockeries, flowerbed borders, terraces, low hedges or tubs.
