'Goldmound Spirea' is a cultivar deciduous shrub in the Roseaceae (rose) family with characteristically golden colored leaves. It is a hybrid cross between S. japonica ‘Alpina’ and S. japonica ‘Goldflame’.
Compact in habit, this shrub boasts showy small pink flowers that appear in late spring and attract butterflies. Plant in the full sun, in moist well-drained soils. It will tolerate very light shade and a wide range of soils but prefers organically rich loams. Prune in the late winter to early spring as flowers appear on new wood. Removing the faded flowers will promote additional blooms.
