Plant Overview

Spirea Magic Carpet

Spiraea japonica 'Magic Carpet'

Spirea 'Magic Carpet' is a deciduous flowering shrub. Bright red new growth transitions through gold to green, creating a continuous dynamic foliage color display paired with vivid pink flowers in summer. Easy to grow in average, well-drained soil in full sun. Very adaptable, cold hardy, and low maintenance. Shear lightly after bloom to encourage reblooming. A reliable landscape workhorse for mass plantings, mixed borders, and foundation plantings where prolific bloom, colorful foliage, and easy care are valued.
