Spiraea japonica is not only appreciated for its flowers but also for its attractive foliage. The leaves are typically lance-shaped and finely toothed, providing a lush green backdrop that turns into a spectacular display of orange, red, and yellow in the fall. This seasonal transformation adds another layer of interest and makes the Spiraea japonica a year-round favorite.The shrub generally grows to a height and spread of 2 to 4 feet, forming a neat, rounded mound. This compact size makes it suitable for various landscaping uses, from border plantings to mass plantings and even as a low hedge.
