Spirea Thunbergi; Thunberg’s Spirea 
Its graceful spreading and arching branches are covered with 
many small, pure white flowers in clusters in March, before the 
leaves are developed; leaves very narrow, 1 to 1% in. long, 
light green, in autumn orange and scarlet. The light green, fine 
feathery foliage effect makes Thunbergi suitable for nearby 
plantings where shrubs of coarse texture would be out of place.

bushy. It attains a height of 8 to 15 feet, and lower growing 
shrubs should be planted in front.
