Lemon Princess Spirea - Live Flowering Shrub in 4 Inch Pot | Spiraea japonica with Golden Foliage

Brighten your garden with the vibrant color of Lemon Princess Spirea, a compact flowering shrub prized for its brilliant golden-yellow foliage and cheerful pink summer blooms. Unlike many gold-leaf varieties, Lemon Princess retains its bright foliage color throughout the growing season, providing months of landscape interest.

In summer, clusters of soft pink flowers cover the plant, attracting butterflies and pollinators while creating a beautiful contrast against the golden leaves. As autumn arrives, the foliage develops attractive pinkish-red tones, extending its seasonal appeal well into fall.

Its compact size and low-maintenance nature make Lemon Princess an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, mass plantings, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and container displays.

These healthy plants are shipped established in 4 inch nursery pots and are ready to thrive in your landscape.
