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.
