About this product

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or early autumn in a sunny spot at the depth of the root ball; for a hedge space plants 40–60 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly during dry spells in the first summer. Feed in spring with a general shrub fertiliser and mulch to keep moisture in.
Care. Cut back hard in early spring – Japanese spirea flowers on the current year's shoots. Removing faded flower heads encourages a second flush.
Gardener's tip. Plant several varieties with different leaf and flower colours side by side for a bright, low-maintenance edging all summer.
