Notes
Iberian spirea (Spiraea hypericifolia) is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It grows 36 to 60 inches tall and spreads 36 to 60 inches wide, so give it room to form a full, rounded screen. White flowers open in late spring and early summer, and they cover the branches in a pale display.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Viburnum, and Greig's tulip.
