Characteristics and uses:
The False Spiraea is a small, easy to grow shrub easy. Its highly indented leaves look like the Mountain Ash or Whitebeam leaves. However, its small dimensions make it an ideal candidate for flowering beds or informal hedges. It blossoms abundantly from the end of May right through to September offering a magnificent show of white inflorescences. Easy to look after, you nevertheless need to be careful as the False Spiraea has a tendency to produce suckers.
