Spiraea japonica var. nyeswood

I was given cuttings of this plant by well known Victorian nurseryman Arnold Teese in the late 80s and have had it in various gardens since then. Its a great little plant for edging, rock garden or to spill over a low wall. This Spiraea which grows to 25cm high and slowly spreads to 50cm wide. The flowers are pink and if given some sun it will colour up well in autumn. As with most Spiraea it benefits from being cut to the ground after flowering.
