Spirea Little Princess

The Little Princess spirea is a small, deciduous shrub with mint green leaves and bright pink flowers that cover the arching stems in late spring and summer. It is hardy to minus 30 degrees and grows in zones 4 to 9. It is drought and heat tolerant once established and has few pest or disease problems. It has a rounded shape and spreads about 3 feet wide, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as part of mixed plantings. In fall, the leaves turn vibrant shades of red.
