Spiraea japonica 'Golden Elf'

Plant Type: Shrub

A petite golden-leaved spiraea with tiny pink flowers in spring, small oval foliage and a growth habit very similar to a groundcover. Yellow color is held "respectably" through summer and into fall and flowers often appear again later in the season. Great for use in containers, edging walkways, perennial gardens, rock gardens, stone walls, and groundcover.  A unique and versatile deciduous shrub.
