Description

Spiraea japonica ‘Walbuma’ (Magic Carpet® Spirea) is a compact deciduous shrub prized for its vibrant foliage color and reliable summer blooms. Its low, mounding habit makes it ideal for borders, mass plantings, foundation beds, and containers.

New growth emerges in brilliant shades of red and orange in spring, gradually maturing to bright golden-yellow. In early to mid-summer, flat-topped clusters of rosy-pink flowers appear above the colorful foliage, creating strong contrast. As the season progresses, foliage may take on subtle reddish tones again in cooler weather.

Spiraea japonica ‘Walbuma’ maintains a dense, spreading mound and delivers season-long color with minimal maintenance.
