Spiraea japonica ‘Double Play® Candy Corn®’ is a compact, low-maintenance spirea famed for its season-long foliage show—fiery red spring growth turns pineapple-yellow, then glows orange/red again in fall—topped by vivid purple flowers.
Color show: New leaves emerge red, mature to bright yellow, with orange/red tones later; magenta-purple flower clusters late spring–early summer.
Size & habit: Neat, mounded shrub about 18–24 in tall and wide.
Light: Full sun for best color (tolerates light shade).
Soil & water: Adaptable in well-drained soil; drought-tolerant once established.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9.
Care: Low maintenance—shear lightly after bloom to tidy and encourage a bit more flowering.
Uses: Front borders, mass plantings, edging, containers; excellent contrast plant.
Wildlife & resistance: Attracts pollinators; generally deer-resistant.
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
