A hardy deciduous shrub the Spiraea japonica 'Firelight' is perfectly suited for planted in mixed borders. Dull red/bronze leaves turn green in summer months and then turn fiery red in autumn. Small pink flowers open in clusters in summer.
A low maintenance shrub usually requiring no pruning although if overgrown cutting back hard will reinvigorate the plant. Easy to grow in most soils provided it is well draining. Suitable for mixed borders and tolerant of all but the most extreme of conditions.
