So how to diversify a low-maintenance garden with spirea?
We take so many different varieties with different colors of foliage and different heights of bushes.
We prune some spirea as much as possible in the spring, some not so much.
In the summer, we prune some even before flowering, thereby shifting the flowering to autumn, so that the garden is alive and colorful until the cold weather sets in.
We don’t trim some bushes at all after flowering. More shaggy natural bushes will combine favorably with perfectly trimmed balls.
And if you add 20-30% conifers to such a garden, planting them between spirea, then you are guaranteed a beautiful, colorful, blooming, low-maintenance garden!
Oh, I forgot something else. You can also add gray spirea Grefsheim or yellow Kaziu, it can be left unpruned for many years until it falls apart. This is for lazy gardeners. Also plant Wangutta spirea, Nippon spirea and Birch leaf spirea for spring flowering.
A beautiful garden quickly is spirea, while the conifers have not yet grown...
