Spirea Double Play Candy Corn (Spiraea japonica) captivates with its unique tri-colored foliage that transitions beautifully through vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and green. This striking shrub features lovely pink flowers that bloom throughout the summer, creating a stunning contrast and attracting butterflies and pollinators.

Blooms: The blooms of Spirea Double Play Candy Corn showcase clusters of small, cheerful pink flowers that emerge in late spring and continue through summer. These abundant blossoms stand out against the colorful foliage, adding a lively charm that enhances the garden’s overall beauty and draws in beneficial pollinators.

Foliage: The leaves of Double Play Candy Corn are quite remarkable, starting in spring with a vibrant yellow that transitions to shades of orange and lime green as the season progresses. This dynamic color palette adds depth and interest to the landscape. The foliage is finely textured and dense, creating a lush backdrop that highlights the contrasting blooms, making it a standout among garden plants.

Size: Spirea Double Play Candy Corn typically grows to about 18-24 inches in height with a similar spread, forming a compact, rounded shape. Its moderate size and tidy growth habit make it an excellent choice for borders, mixed plantings, or as a colorful accent in smaller gardens.

Sun and Soil Requirements: This spirea variety thrives in full sun to partial shade, performing best in well-drained soils that are rich in organic matter. It is relatively low-maintenance and adaptable to different soil types, though it appreciates consistent moisture. Once established, it demonstrates impressive drought tolerance, making it suitable for gardens looking for low-water options.

Pruning: Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the shape and encouraging bushier growth. It can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Light trimming after flowering helps remove spent blooms and promotes a fuller, denser plant while allowing the vivid foliage and new growth to shine.

Landscape Use: The stunning Spirea Double Play Candy Corn is perfect for use in mixed borders, as a foundation plant, or as part of a colorful hedge. Its vibrant foliage and cheerful flowers create an eye-catching display that enlivens garden spaces. Pairing it with complementary plants will enhance the overall visual interest, making it a versatile addition to any landscape.

The captivating colors and delightful blooms of Spirea Double Play Candy Corn will elevate your outdoor area, transforming it into a vibrant and welcoming haven. Bring home Spirea Double Play Candy Corn today and enjoy its beauty and charm for many seasons to come!
