About this plant
Spiraea japonica 'Goldflame' is a dazzling deciduous shrub celebrated for its vibrant foliage and charming pink flowers. New growth emerges a striking copper-orange, maturing to a beautiful golden-yellow through the summer, providing continuous visual interest. In early summer, clusters of delicate rose-pink flowers emerge, creating a lovely contrast against the bright leaves. This compact and rounded shrub offers year-round appeal with its evolving color palette and graceful habit. Ideal for mass plantings, borders, or as a vibrant accent, 'Goldflame' brings a cheerful and energetic quality to any garden design. Its adaptability and showy display make it a popular choice for both seasoned gardeners and beginners alike.
Care & maintenance
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Best performance in full sun for optimal foliage color and flowering. Tolerates light shade but may have less vibrant color. Pruning in late winter or early spring just before new growth appears will encourage a compact shape and more prolific flowering. Deadheading spent flowers after blooming can promote additional blooms.
