DOUBLE PLAY DOOZIE® CARPET SPIREA

Spiraea japonica Double Play Doozie® is a standout deciduous shrub known for being a non-stop color, thanks largely to its unique sterile nature. Because it doesn't spend energy producing seeds, it directs all its resources into vibrant, neon-pink flowers and showy deep-red spring foliage that transitions to a rich green. Growing into a tidy, mounded shape of about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it serves as a reliable, non-invasive alternative to older Spiraea varieties.

Double Play Doozie® Spirea thrives in full sun, which maximizes its showy foliage color and blooms, though it can tolerate partial shade. While it appreciates regular watering during its first year to establish a strong root system, it becomes quite drought-tolerant once mature and isn't picky about soil type, provided it is well-drained. Unlike many flowering shrubs, 'Double Play Doozie' doesn't strictly require deadheading to keep blooming, but a quick shearing in early spring or after the first flowering flush will help maintain its compact habit.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun to partial shade, as full sun is preferred for best flowering and foliage color, in well-draining soil. Water regularly until established; once mature, this variety is relatively drought-tolerant. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize annually with a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote new growth; deadheading spent flowers after the first flush can encourage a second round of blooms.
