Spiraea • Spirea 
Spiraea, Anthony Waterer. (F.) 2 feet. 
A compact, low-growing shrub with dense 
foliage, usually deep green with occasional 
variegated leaves of pink and white on 
young growth. The bright pink flowers are 
borne in full, flat clusters on erect stems in 
June and July. If these are cut away when 
they fade, the shrub will bloom during the 
summer. Valuable for edging in front of 
shrubbery and sometimes used as a dwarf 
hedge. Each Five

Magnolia soulangeana. (See page 7) 
Spiraea, continued 
S. reevesiana. Reeves Spirea. (F.) 4 to 
5 feet. One of the best of the Spireas. The 
white flowers are borne along the stem in 
May, just as the foliage appears. The 
foliage remains exceptionally late in the 
fall. In habit it is graceful and is useful in 
foundation planting. Each Five

S. thunbergi. Snow Garland. (F.) 2K to 
3K feet. This extra-early flowering species 
is the pride of the Southland, and we highly 
recommend it. It is spreading in growth, 
with arching, slender branches that are a 
perfect mass of minute white flowers in 
April, followed by exceptionally delicate 
green foliage. For edging purposes it has 
few equals. Each Five

S. trichocarpa. Korean Spirea. 4 to 6 feet. 
Another important Asiatic introduction 
gaining daily in popularity. In character 
of growth, foliage, and blossom it resembles 
S. vanhouttei, but the white flowers are 
larger and broader, and are produced three 
to four weeks (in June) after the so-called 
“Bridal Wreath.” Not well known yet.

S. vanhouttei. Bridal Bower; Bridal Wreath. 
(F.) 4 to 6 feet. The most generally useful 
of the hardy shrubs. It has grown so 
popular that we sell more of it than any 
other variety we grow. The white flowers 
are in flat clusters, usually an inch or more 
across, produced in May on spreading, 
pendulent branches, often drooping to the 
ground. The foliage is an attractive green 
which is held until frost. This variety can 
be used for hedging, grouping, and mass 
effect. We have nothing better. When in 
doubt, plant S. vanhouttei. 
We get many calls for these in quantity 
lots. Each plant is a specimen.
