Anthony Waterer Spirea, Japanese Meadowsweet, Japanese Spirea
A widely used ornamental landscape plant, Anthony Waterer spirea is a flowering deciduous shrub that originates from Japan and China. This hardy, easy to grow shrub has a dense, rounded habit and bears soft clusters of dark pink flowers in mid to late summer. Spent flowers can be removed to extend flowering. Its newly emerging foliage is red-purple in color and matures to bright green.
Best grown in full sun and tolerant of a wide range of soils, 'Anthony Waterer' is a highly versatile landscape shrub that looks great in mixed borders, hedges or planted in masses.
