The Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea (Spirea japonica 'Golden Select') is a vibrant, compact shrub that offers a splash of color and texture to your landscape. This spirea flourishes in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9, making it a great choice for different climates and ensuring beauty throughout the year. The beautiful golden-yellow leaves bring a vibrant touch to gardens during spring and summer, and the rich green foliage appears in the fall. During the transition from late spring to early summer, the plant showcases clusters of small, bubblegum-pink flowers that create a stunning contrast with the golden leaves. This plant grows to a height of 2-3' feet and spreads 2-3' feet wide, making it an ideal choice for compact gardens or as a lovely border shrub.

This spirea is a fantastic option for drawing in pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing any garden that aims to nurture local wildlife. Although it may not be a common choice for deer, its bright hues and robust form effectively discourage nibbling. Moreover, the Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea is safe for pets, ensuring a worry-free choice for households with beloved animals.

General Care: To ensure healthy growth, place Pineapple Poprocks® Spirea in well-drained soil and provide it with full to partial sunlight. Water consistently, making sure the soil stays moist without becoming waterlogged, especially in the plant's initial year. Once it gets going, it can handle dry spells quite well. Applying mulch around the base is beneficial for keeping moisture in and managing soil temperature effectively. Prune in early spring before new growth emerges, taking away any dead or damaged branches to promote a neat look. In early spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to encourage robust growth and vibrant blooms.
