Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess'
Little Princess spirea
Small rose-pink flower clusters contrast with mint-green leaves on a low, rounded shrub, fading toward white as they age. Summer blooms and red autumn foliage give it more than one season of interest. Its compact mound works along sunny borders or as a low informal hedge.
