Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another lovely but easy-going Spiraea relative from China, this medium-sized shrub has gracefully arching branches which are decorated not only by bronzy-purple young leaves but also creamy-white flowers in summer. S/M

Popular in Europe, this Chinese lovely is not well-known in the US. Ovate leaves are double serrated and fresh, deep green. Interesting, crumbling bark on older plants. Rose-colored, tubular flowers in clusters of 10-20 blooms in May thru July. Very long blooming and blooms profusely. Easy to grow in any but very dry soil. Arching canes of Spiraea-like stems. Young foliage is bronzy-purple.
