Description
Spiraea japonica 'Goldflame', commonly known as *Goldflame Spirea*, is a compact, deciduous shrub prized for its striking foliage and vibrant summer blooms. In Australia, it grows to about 60-90 cm in height and spread, making it ideal for small gardens, borders, or as a low hedge. The new leaves emerge in bright red and transition to yellow-green, providing a vivid display throughout the growing season. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of pink flowers that attract pollinators.
'Goldflame' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. It’s adaptable to various climates across Australia but performs best in temperate regions with moderate rainfall. This shrub is low-maintenance and can tolerate light pruning to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Its colourful foliage and easy care make it a popular choice for adding long-lasting colour to Australian gardens.
