Glow Girl® Pink Birchleaf Spiraea is the plant equivalent of a confetti cannon—small in stature but bursting with color from spring through fall. In early spring, cheerful bubblegum-pink flower clusters cover the shrub like party pom-poms, offering nectar-rich invitations to bees and beneficial pollinators. Its naturally rounded form keeps the display neat and balanced, making it a lively yet orderly addition to any garden bed.
Just when the flowers begin their curtain call, the foliage takes over the show. Leaves emerge in a brilliant yellow that shifts gently toward fresh green as the season progresses, creating a soft, glowing contrast to the blooms. As autumn arrives, the entire shrub transforms again, warming into fiery tones of red, orange, and gold. Few compact shrubs deliver this level of year-round interest with such effortless charm.
As one of the most colorful birchleaf spirea selections available, Glow Girl® Pink Birchleaf Spiraea thrives in a range of soils as long as they drain well. This tough, North American native is hardy, adaptable, and easy to care for, flourishing in full sun to light shade. Perfect for foundation plantings, borders, wildlife-friendly spaces, and low-maintenance landscapes, this compact charmer brings vibrant energy without demanding much in return.
