Striking Pink Landscape Shrub
The name says it all - this incredible spirea is a doozie! The Double Play Doozie® first blazes into spring with bold, deep red and lime green foliage that matures to dark green as the season progresses. The bright, hot pink-red flowers begin to emerge in late spring and won’t stop blooming until the first frost. Month after month, the Double Play Doozie® continues to put on a show of color.
This innovative, first-ever seedless spiraea keeps right on blooming, putting all its energy into producing robust flowers. The Double Play Doozie® commands attention, making it the perfect shrub to tuck into any spot where you would like some color, or when used in borders, edging, and perennial gardens.
Highly adaptable and non-invasive, the Double Play Doozie ® is hardy, deer-resistant, and drought-tolerant. Loved by bees and butterflies, it will thrive when planted in locations that receive plenty of sun. The Double Play Doozie® is one of the loveliest, longest blooming shrubs you can own - grow yours today!
