Spiraea japonica Dart's Red

Spiraea planting instructions and tips

• Choose a spot in your garden that receives full sun to partial shade and has well-draining soil.

• Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball of the spiraea plant.

• Mix some compost or other organic matter into the soil at the bottom of the hole.

• Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen any tangled or circling roots.

• Place the spiraea plant in the hole and backfill with soil, making sure the plant is level and straight.

• Tamp down the soil gently to remove any air pockets.

• Water the plant thoroughly, making sure the soil is evenly moist.

• Add a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Water the plant regularly, especially during the hot and dry summer months.

• Prune the plant in late winter or early spring before new growth appears to maintain its shape and encourage blooming.
