Spiraea thunbergii 'Mt. Fuji'
SKU
31805
Superb, collector's variety! A spectacular flurry of small white flowers appears mid-spring. Next, fine, willow-like leaves unfurl with green and white variegation, some twisted and curled for added appeal. The foliage turns brilliant yellow-orange and holds well through late autumn. Deciduous.
