A young bright red foliage, golden-yellow in summer, with an intense growth of dark pink flowersIn spring, the foliage of Merlo® Gold has a remarkable intensity, mixing young firey-red shoots and small lemon-yellow leaves. In summer the foliage remains yellow. It has a naturally round and regular habit. In June Merlo® Gold is covered with a multitude of small dark red flowers. Removing the first faded corymbs will encourage a second flowering. Resistant to powdery mildew, this new spirea will mix wonderfully in beds with other shrubs or colourfully-leaved perennials.

Young bright purple foliage, followed by intense carmine pink flowersIn spring the young shoots, at first bright purple red, then becoming darker, make a contrast with the overall green foliage. The serrated and subtly veined leaf blades stay purple for quite a while before changing to dark green. In the autumn they turn bronze. This selection is not very sensitive to powdery mildew. In June the plant is covered in carmine pink flowers reaching up to 8 cm. Taking off the first wilted corymbs favours renewed flowering right into September.Its regular round bushy growth is easy on the eye and its moderate dimensions make it a shrub which lends itself to be either pot grown, be in the foreground of a flower bed or in a border.

Seductive caramel-orange foliage growing in the form of an inviting cushionThe Spiraea japonica Zen'Spirit® Caramel is a small bush with a compact habit that forms dense, rounded cushions. This new variety is notable for its young caramel-orange foliage that persists for several weeks in spring before turning green. Pruning will encourage a repeat performance. In autumn the foliage develops beautiful red tints. Its flowering is typical of Japanese Spiraea: in summer the bouquets of flowers in purple-pink corymbs emerge above the foliage. Once well-established, it tolerates brief periods of drought and a little lime. Zen'Spirit® Caramel is an easy plant that requires limited attention. It grows to a limited height (40 to 60 cms). Its restrained development makes it ideal for rockeries, flowerbed borders, terraces, low hedges or tubs.

The flowers are very discrete. It's a plant that's appreciated above all for its foliage and its decorative form adapted to small spaces, borders or pots.
