  • Description

  • Notes

'Little Princess' spirea is a tidy mounding shrub growing about 3 feet tall but up to 6 feet wide. It has small, finely texture leaves of mint green that turn a pleasing yellow in the fall. Clusters of tiny pink flowers bloom from June to August. Use in a perennial, shrub, or foundation border; its small scale makes it nice in front of taller shrubs. Attracts butterflies.
