Spiraea japonica Magic Carpet |Walbuma|

Spiraea japonica Magic Carpet 'Walbuma' (Japanese Spirea) is a low-growing deciduous shrub with brilliant red leaves in spring, maturing to golden yellow as the summer progresses. The luminous foliage turns rich russet red in the fall. In late spring to early summer, flat sprays of small bright pink flowers grace the tips of its branches. Perfect for contrasting and brightening the landscape, this spirea cultivar is a wonderful choice for borders and containers. Its petite size makes it ideal for small gardens!
