Colorful, petite, durable

Sound like anyone you know? This charming new Spiraea japonica is a bit like a certain music legend. Perhaps that's how we landed on its name: Double Play® Dolly™.

People sometimes underestimate spirea. It's an adaptable and deer-resistant plant that will grow in tough conditions like clay or alkaline soil. It's both practical and ornamental - a great combination in anything.

This variety is hardy in USDA 3-8 and will grow in either full sun or part shade.

Non-stop color

The show starts in spring with bright orange-red foliage. As the leaves mellow to yellow the unique purple-pink flowers appear. It will charm you all season long with its colorful foliage and tidy 1.5-2.5' habit.

Don't like spirea?

That's a bit like all the people who claim to not like country music but sing along to "Jolene" in the car. Get over yourself! If it helps, bake yourself a cake with this delicious Dolly Parton frosting and celebrate your newly discovered appreciation of a hard-working plant.
