Spiraea prunifolia

Size: 4-8' tall and wide

Lighting requirements: Full to part sun

Seasonal interest: Spring blooms

Winter: Deciduous

Trim after spring blooms fade in late spring. Pruning any later will essentially cut off next spring's blooms. The white one is the one I recommend for our area. I've seen some of the smaller pink ones survive here, but they tend to be very heavy feeders since they prefer a slightly acidic to neutral soil.
