Spirea japonica ''Matgold' USPP28876' Rainbow Fizz

Spirea ‘Rainbow Fizz’ is a dynamic ornamental shrub celebrated for its ever-changing foliage and charming summer blooms. New growth emerges in vibrant red tones, gradually shifting through orange and yellow shades throughout the season, creating a lively “rainbow” effect. In early to mid-summer, clusters of delicate white flowers appear above the colorful foliage, attracting pollinators and providing a layered visual display. This combination of bold foliage and soft blooms makes ‘Rainbow Fizz’ a standout in any landscape.

Compact and naturally rounded, ‘Rainbow Fizz’ works well in borders, mass plantings, and containers, bringing year-round color and texture. Its low-maintenance habit, heat tolerance, and adaptability to a variety of soil conditions make it suitable for both casual and formal gardens. With proper care, it delivers consistent vibrancy and seasonal interest, enhancing mixed beds or serving as a striking accent plant on its own.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun for the most vibrant foliage color and best flower production. Ensure adequate spacing for airflow and growth.

Watering:
Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established, it tolerates occasional drought but prefers moderate, consistent moisture.

Pruning:
Prune in early spring to maintain shape and encourage fresh, colorful growth. Light trimming after flowering promotes rebloom.

Pest Control:
Generally pest-resistant. Occasionally monitor for aphids or spider mites and treat with insecticidal soap if needed.

Thrives in well-draining soil with moderate fertility. Avoid waterlogged conditions for optimal health and foliage color.
