Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Pink Spirea

Pink Sprigs are easy to grow. Plant them in moist but not soggy soil. When planted in the proper location and well cared for, they can be heat—and cold-tolerant. Remove spent flowers to improve the overall appearance. Pruning can be done in early spring, ensuring you prune before the plants develop leaves. The thickest canes should be removed to the ground, whereas the newer growth can be rounded into a mounded form.

They are mainly pest—and disease-free and also deer-resistant. However, they can be damaged by rabbits during the months leading up to winter and should be checked periodically.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Shrubs

Bare root shrubs are a budget-friendly and efficient way to plant during the cooler months when they’re dormant. Before planting, soak the roots in water for 3–6 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a site with the appropriate light exposure for the species—most flowering shrubs prefer full to partial sun. Dig a hole wide enough to spread out the roots and deep enough so the crown (where the roots meet the stems) sits level with the soil surface.

Mound a bit of soil at the bottom of the hole, spread the roots over it, and backfill with native soil while gently firming it to remove air pockets. Water deeply after planting to settle the roots. Keep the soil moist but not soggy during the first growing season to encourage healthy establishment.

Mulch around the base (not touching the stems) to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly to remove any broken branches and to shape after the first flush of growth. With minimal care, bare root shrubs will leaf out beautifully and grow into reliable, long-term landscape anchors.
