You can really rely on this Spiraea to give you a beautiful display year after year with jam-packed clusters of pretty pink flowers when many plants are starting to fade in late summer.

With an upright habit, bushy habit, the sea of pink will prominently brighten up your garden given a fabulous sight every Summer for many years to come. The new foliage on this deciduous shrub appears in Spring with a red tinge, maturing through shades of green and can often exhibit slight cream and pink variegation before falling in the late Autumn. Simply prune back in early Spring and feed just twice a year with a slow release fertiliser.


What This Plant Brings to Your Garden

Late summer flowers

Flat heads of deep rosy-pink open in July and hold into late summer, filling the gap left as earlier flowering shrubs begin to fade.

A draw for butterflies

The nectar-rich flowerheads pull butterflies and bees to the border through the warmest weeks, a useful late feeding station for garden insects.

Tinted spring foliage

New spring leaves emerge with a red tinge before settling to green, and the odd shoot carries flecks of cream and pink for extra interest.

About This Plant

The name honours Anthony Waterer, whose family ran the celebrated Knap Hill Nursery in Surrey through the nineteenth century, where this hybrid Japanese spiraea was raised and sent out into gardens. It has stayed in cultivation ever since as one of the more dependable summer-flowering shrubs of its type.

A hard prune in early spring keeps the habit compact and steers energy into fresh flowering wood, since the blooms form on the current season's growth. Two feeds of slow-release fertiliser across the year are enough to keep it going. Snipping off the faded heads can coax a lighter second flush later on.
