Spiraea Douglasii Douglas spirea, Western spirea
With its wide, fluffy, pink flower panicles, you can't fail to like S. douglasii. Along with the narrowly oblong foliage, which it loses in winter, it actually brings a breath of summer romance to the yard. Preferring full sun, it can be used as a flowering hedge or colorful filler for green group plantings. The tirelessly persistent flowerer can cope with any soil. Pruning is not strictly necessary; it is sufficient to thin out the shrub from time to time. In short, it is a truly easy-going specimen. There are also spring-flowering varieties of Spiraea that bear white flowers.
Spiraea Japonica "Goldflame" Japanese spirea
The compact, deciduous "Goldflame" with its vibrant, deep pink blooms will produce an impressive carpet of flowers when planted in clumps. However, it is also perfect for use as border hedging. Its leaves are almost bronze when young, turning yellow green in time. The foliage turns a coppery color in fall. The plant flowers on branches of the previous year's growth and should therefore be cut back slightly in spring before the leaves shoot. It has the same location requirements as S. douglasii.
Sorbus Folgneri "Lemon Drop" Chinese haw
Elegantly hanging branches along with a beautiful, reddish-golden, fall color and wide, yellow berries are the main attractions of this variety. The genus is known as rowan. It likes moist, well-drained, fertile soil.
