Spirea Double Play® 'Candy Corn®'
Spiraea japonica 'NCSX1'
Double Play® Candy Corn® is a popular, colourful spirea variety. In the spring, the new growth emerges candy apple red before maturing to a pineapple yellow. New leaves emerge with an orange tinge throughout the season. In late spring/early summer, dark magenta-pink flowers appear that are loved by pollinators. In the fall, the foliage turns shades of copper-bronze, yellow, orange, and red.
Spirea grows best in full to part sun with average, well-drained soil. They can grow in most soil types as long as they are well-drained and are fairly drought-tolerant once established.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through September, depending on suppliers availability.
