Height: 2-3'Width/Spread: 2-3'
Light: Double Play Doozie spirea will grow in locations where it can get at least four hours of direct sun exposure, but is happiest getting six hours or more. It gets its best foliage color and flower set with full sun. In warmer zones, it could benefit from placement in afternoon shade so it doesn’t burn up.
Soil: Adapts to most soil types, but needs it to be free draining. Any period of extended sogginess will not be tolerated.
Water: After it’s established, it is quite drought tolerant, only needing water when there are extended periods of time without precipitation.
Fertilizing: Nothing special required. If desired, you may apply a granular fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs in late winter/early spring when the soil is workable.
Pruning: Pruning isn’t necessary for Double Play Doozie’s health, but for appearances’ sake, you can shape it in early spring. If desired, you can also give it a light trim after its first flush of flowers to promote colorful new growth.
Enjoy flowers from late spring to fall with Double Play Doozie spirea! It doesn’t produce seeds, so it can spend that energy on producing more flowers. These dark pink, fluffy blooms appear in bursts throughout the growing season, offering constant color that plays with other vibrant flowers. You won’t need to deadhead it to get new flowers. The spent blooms just tuck into the foliage over time as new growth and flowers cover them up. It naturally maintains a neat, rounded habit, but it responds really well to pruning if you enjoy the task or prefer a super tidy appearance. That’s all the maintenance it may need, as it is very tolerant of tough conditions. No need to protect against deer or fret about disease or drought. You have found the perfect plant for easy color!
