Description:
Tor Birchleaf Spirea is a compact, easy-care shrub known for its tidy shape and multi-season interest. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small white flowers that contrast nicely with its dark green, birch-like leaves. As the season progresses, the foliage remains neat and dense before turning vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple in fall. Its low, mounded form makes it ideal for borders, edging, or mass plantings.
Standout Feature:
Brilliant fall color with a compact, low-growing habit.
Interesting Fact:
Unlike many other spireas grown mainly for flowers, Tor is especially valued for its outstanding fall color, making it a great choice for extending seasonal interest.
