Spiraea japonica 'Genpei'
Joseph's coat (syn. Shirobana)
Charming clusters of dark pink and white flowers in mid and late summer and small, sharply toothed, dark green leaves. This deciduous shrub has an unusual flowering habit producing a mixture of pink and white flowers on the same and different flower heads. To retain its compact habit prune hard each year in early spring. Ideal for a sunny, well-drained border.
How to care for Spiraea japonica Genpei:
Dead head after flowering. In early spring hard, prune the flowered stems to a permanent framework 10-15cm (4-6in) above the ground.
