Spiraea japonica 'Candlelight'
Common name:
Candlelight Japanese spirea
Family:
Rosaceae (rose family)
Synonym:
Spiraea × bumalda 'Candlelight'
Distribution:
Species native to e. Asia
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 4

Deciduous shrub/Subshrub
Comments:
The compact, mound-like habit and butter-yellow foliage make this 2-3' high and wide deciduous shrub a good candidate for the foundation planting or small garden area. Pink blooms are produced in large clusters in late spring or early summer. Fall color is dark red. A good heavy pruning first thing in spring every few years encourages fresh growth.
