Double Play Doozie® Spirea
Spirea x 'Double Play® Doozie
This spirea isn’t just great—it’s a doozie! A true game-changer, Double Play Doozie® delivers vibrant color, continuous blooms, and zero invasiveness. Its deep red foliage emerges in early spring, followed by bright purple-red flowers that keep blooming all summer long. Since it’s seedless, all its energy goes into flowering rather than spreading.
A landscaping classic, spirea’s neat, mounded habit makes it a great edging, accent plant, or companion in perennial gardens. For the best impact, plant in multiples of three. Low-maintenance and hardy, it requires little care beyond an occasional trim after its first bloom in late spring to encourage a fresh flush of red growth. Every few years, remove the oldest, woodiest stems to keep it looking its best.
