Renaissance Spirea — Spiraea x vanhouttei 'Renaissance'
Renaissance Spirea (Spiraea x vanhouttei 'Renaissance') is a classic, graceful deciduous shrub that delivers a stunning multi-season performance — smothering itself in profuse flat-topped clusters of pure white flowers from late spring into summer, then following up with attractive orange-red fall foliage that extends its ornamental value well into the season. The naturally mounding, arching habit creates an elegant, free-flowing form with medium green oval leaves throughout summer that transition to warm orange-red as temperatures drop in fall. Deadheading spent flowers encourages additional bloom and keeps the plant looking tidy. A vigorous, adaptable, and easy-care shrub that thrives in full to part sun with well-drained soils — excellent for borders, hedges, foundation plantings, and naturalized areas. Hardy to Zone 3.
