Spirea japonica 'Goldmound'
Tiny pink flowers in flat-topped clusters (corymbs) cover the foliage in late spring to mid-summer with sparse and intermittent repeat bloom often occurring throughout the remainder of the growing season.
'Gold Mound' is, as the cultivar name suggests, noted for its attractive golden foliage. Bright gold foliage, pink flowers, and a low mounding form. Grows to about 2' in height.
