Unit price perBack for the 2026 season.
Gold Mound Spirea earns its name with a season-long show of brilliant golden-yellow foliage that lights up borders and mixed plantings from spring through fall. At just 24–36 inches tall and 3–5 feet wide, this tidy mounding shrub is perfectly scaled for edging beds or anchoring a mass planting in full sun. Soft pink flowers appear in summer, hovering above the glowing foliage in a charming contrast. Fall brings a warm golden finish before the leaves drop, extending the interest well into autumn. Resistant to deer, insects, and disease, it’s a dependable performer that handles tough spots without complaint. It tolerates Black Walnut, making it a flexible choice for challenging garden sites. A go-to shrub for a burst of low-maintenance color all season long.
