729 Glow Girl Birchleaf Spirea

The 'Glow Girl' Spiraea (Spiraea betulifolia 'Tor Gold') is a compact, deciduous shrub celebrated for its vibrant, three-season interest and exceptional hardiness. This Proven Winners variety features bright yellow foliage that emerges in spring and transitions to a lemon-lime or chartreuse shade in summer without burning in the sun. In late spring, reddish buds open into clusters of pure white flowers that are highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. As autumn arrives, the birch-like leaves transform into a brilliant display of orange, red, and purple, providing a final burst of color. Growing in a dense, rounded mound typically reaching 3 to 4 feet in height and spread, it is an ideal choice for foundation plantings, low hedges, or mixed borders. This low-maintenance shrub thrives in full sun to part shade and is remarkably adaptable to various soil types, making it a reliable performer in USDA zones 3 through 9.
