Tor Spirea

The Tor Spirea is a dense, mound-forming small shrub growing to around 3 feet tall and wide. It is covered in clusters of sparkling white flowers in May and June, and in fall it has the best colors of any spirea, turning gold, orange and red. In between the cool green leaves are the perfect backdrop to summer plants. Use it in front of evergreens, on slopes and in rock gardens, in clusters or drifts in shrub beds, and as a low hedge. Trimmed or not it will always be neat and tidy.

• Glistening white flowers in May and June
• Top-rated fall colors of yellow, orange and red
• Neat, compact shrub needing virtually no attention
• Perfect for informal low hedges, and can be trimmed too
• Resistant to cold and untroubled by deer

Full sun is best for your Tor Spirea, which is hardy all through zone 4. It grows in any ordinary well-drained soil, and it’s drought resistant once established. Free of pests or diseases, and deer also leave it alone. Prune in late winter before flowering, if needed, and/or trim lightly immediately after the blooms are over. A very low-maintenance shrub.
