Growing and Maintenance Tips
Plant Spirea ‘Pink Sparkler’ in full sun for best flower production and strong colour; it will tolerate light shade but flowers more sparsely there. Grow in well-drained soil and water regularly during the first season to establish a healthy root system. Once established, it is fairly drought tolerant but benefits from occasional summer moisture. Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh, vigorous growth. This low maintenance shrub is perfect for sunny landscapes where long-lasting spring colour and easy care are priorities.
