Notes
'Goldflame' Japanese meadowsweet (Spiraea japonica 'Goldflame') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast into a dense mound about 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Rose pink flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
