Bring season-long color to your landscape with Spiraea japonica 'Double Play® Gold' (Japanese Spirea 'Double Play® Gold'). You get vivid golden foliage from spring through fall, plus showy clusters of hot pink flowers in early summer that stand out beautifully against the bright leaves.

Plant it where it will receive full sun to part shade; more sun generally means stronger leaf color and better flowering. This compact, mounded shrub typically matures around 24-30 inches tall and can spread to roughly 36-48 inches, making it an easy fit for foundation beds, mixed borders, and low hedges.

For best results, grow it in average, well-drained soil and water regularly during its first season to establish a strong root system. After establishment, it handles typical garden conditions well, but it will look its best with occasional deep watering during extended dry spells.

Maintenance is simple. If you want to shape the plant, prune right after flowering since it blooms on older wood. You can also remove spent flower clusters to keep it tidy and encourage fresh growth. Each spring, a thin layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and keep roots comfortable, while still allowing air to reach the soil.
