Spiraea japonica Walberton's® Magic Carpet

his small, deciduous shrub bursts-out in color in early spring revealing twigs covered in brilliant orange-yellow new growth. The foliage color softens to orange blushed chartreuse as it matures. In early summer lacey pancake-like clusters of glowing pink flowers grace the tips of its branches. MAGIC CARPET Japanese spirea maintains a more compact habit than many other selections and the golden-colored foliage is not prone to reverting to the typical green form. It is a great companion for yellow and orange foliage and flowers, try it with Heuchera 'Marmalade' or Rosa 'Golden Wings'.
