Empire Ice Dragon Spirea 1 Live Plant – Spiraea japonica ‘Iceconspir’ – 2 Gallon Pot

Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spiraea (Spiraea japonica ‘Iceconspir’) is a deciduous ornamental shrub valued for its distinctive foliage coloration, compact growth habit, and attractive pink flowers.

This spirea develops a compact, rounded, mounding growth habit with dense branching and seasonal flower clusters. Pink blossoms typically appear in late spring to early summer, with additional flowering possible under favorable conditions. The flowers may attract bees, butterflies, and other visiting pollinators. Its manageable form makes it suitable for low hedges, mass plantings, landscape accents, and outdoor containers.
