Spiraea tomentosa
WNC NATIVE. RARE. 4-8” spikes of beautiful, butterfly-attracting pink flowers in late summer to fall. Foliage turns bright gold and auburn in fall. Love moist, acidic soil - best blooming will happen in full sun. Gorgeous massed, or as a low hedge.
Flowers can be pruned immediately after blooming to encourage additional blooming. These plants flower on new wood so if you do decide to prune them, late winter is best.
This is the host plant to several extremely showy and charismatic moth species, including Columbia Silkmoth (Hyalophora columbia) and the New England Buck Moth (Hemileuca lucina).
Zone 3-8.
