About

Pink Spiraea is a small flowering shrub very commonly found in Western North America. It grows thickets via rhizomes in swamps, bogs, and usually wet riparian areas. Spires of pink flowers appear in early summer, persisting into the winter. Hummingbirds drink the nectar and marsh wrens live among them. The "Pyramid Spirea" occurs as a hybrid between the pink and white spiraea.

Growing From Plants

Seedlings are a more economical option than established plants and an easier start than growing from seed. Our plants are shipped in soil blocks or plug trays. Plants do surprizingly well in the mail but need special care upon arrival. Please see Planting Mail Order Seedlings for information on how to plant and care for seedlings.
