First Editions: Firegold® stands out with its brilliant lemon-lime foliage. The new growth is soft yellow changing to lemon, and finally to lime-green. Color is at its most brilliant in full sun.

 

Chicago Botanic Garden: FIRST EDISIONS® FIREGOLD spirea features bright lime green foliage but has the arching habit and prolific flower production of other bridalwreath spirea.

 

The genus Spiraea consists of small to medium sized flowering shrubs with a fine-textured twiggy mounding habit. The small simple leaves are generally lance-shaped and held close to the branch. Spring to early summer abundant blooms tend to be in white or pink tones, depending on the species and/or cultivar. While individual flowers are quite small, they occur in clusters of inflorescence that can be very showy.
