Spiraea japonica 'NCSX2' PP30,953

Double Play Doozie Spirea earns its name with two strong features: brilliant red-pink flowers and colorful new foliage. Fresh leaves emerge in warm red tones before shifting toward green, creating contrast even between flower clusters.

Why Gardeners Love Double Play Doozie Spirea

- Vibrant flower clusters: Bright red-pink blooms bring energy to a summer border.

- Colorful new growth: Emerging leaves add coppery-red tones before maturing.

- Long flowering season: A sterile, reblooming selection provides a prolonged display without routine deadheading.

- Compact landscape use: Works well in foundation beds, mass plantings, and sunny mixed borders.

- Pollinator visits: Flowers can draw butterflies and bees during the warm season.

Where to Plant Double Play Doozie Spirea

Repeat several shrubs along a sunny walkway for a ribbon of color, or place one near blue-flowering perennials for contrast. Its compact habit is especially useful where taller flowering shrubs would overwhelm the space.

Growing and Care Tips

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Keep the root zone watered through the first season and mulch to reduce moisture swings. A light spring trim can tidy the shrub, but avoid hard pruning during active bloom.
