Double Play® Red Spirea
A spirea with unusually bold bloom color.
Double Play® Red Spirea stands out because it pushes flower color further than most spireas. Instead of the usual soft pink tones, this compact shrub produces flower clusters in rich red to deep reddish-pink shades, giving sunny borders and foundation beds a brighter, more saturated summer look. It is a strong option when you want something more vivid than a standard flowering shrub.
Spring foliage gives it a second season of color.
Before flowering even begins, Double Play® Red Spirea brings dark burgundy to burgundy-purple new growth, adding real contrast in the landscape. As the season progresses, the foliage settles toward green, while newer tips can continue to show darker red tones. That changing foliage color helps the shrub stay visually interesting even when it is not in peak bloom.
Compact size makes it easy to place.
This is a naturally dense, mounded deciduous shrub that typically stays in the 2- to 3-foot range, making it especially useful for smaller foundation beds, mixed borders, and front-of-bed placements. Double Play® Red Spirea provides strong seasonal color without demanding the space that larger flowering shrubs often require.
A natural fit for sunny borders and mass plantings.
Double Play® Red Spirea works beautifully in mass plantings, mixed shrub borders, sunny foundation beds, and as a colorful accent in perennial combinations. It also pairs well with ornamental grasses, catmint, salvias, coneflowers, and other sun-loving plants. In larger containers, it can work well, though in-ground use is still the easiest long-term placement.
Low maintenance is part of the appeal.
Double Play® Red Spirea performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, and once established it is notably adaptable. It is commonly marketed as deer-resistant, but that should still be treated as a relative trait rather than a guarantee. With good sun, average drainage, and occasional pruning for shape or renewal, this shrub is an easy plant to keep looking sharp.
