Spiraea media [Blue Kazoo] ‘SMSMBK’ (Wood, Timothy, Spring Lake, MI, US 2016) Photo by F.D.Richards, SE Michigan, 9/2020 - Double Play® Blue Kazoo Spirea, spy-rEE-uh, Mature size: 2-3’, White, USDA Hardiness Zone 4-8, In Garden Bed S3 for 4.3 YEARS (Blues). Planted in 2016.

 

Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘SMSMBK’, commonly sold in commerce under the trade name of BLUE KAZOO, is a member of the DOUBLE PLAY Series of spireas (each plant in the series will have improved plant traits in at least two different areas). This cultivar is noted for having unusual but attractive blue-green foliage which is tinged with bronze when emerging in spring but eventually turns an attractive red in fall. It typically matures to a compact 2-3’ tall and as wide. U. S. Plant Patent Applied For (PPAF).

 

Cool blue foliage provides a perfect backdrop for sparkling white flower clusters. Hints of burgundy in the newly

opening foliage foreshadow the rich red fall color. Mounded plant. Proven Winners® selection. Spiraea media 'SMSMBK'
