Brief Description
Spiraea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae. These are deciduous shrubs with simple, often serrated, alternate leaves. They produce abundant small flowers, typically in clusters (corymbs or panicles) at the tips of the branches. Flower colors range from white to various shades of pink and red. The flowers in the image appear to be pink to white, and some clusters look like they are past their prime bloom.
Care Instructions
Spiraeas are generally low-maintenance shrubs. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Regular watering is needed, especially during dry periods, but they are relatively drought-tolerant once established. Pruning is best done after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. For spring-flowering types, prune after flowers fade; for summer-flowering types, prune in late winter or early spring.
Medicinal Value
