Double Play® Candy Corn Spirea is the epitome of effortless beauty with its vibrant, multi-toned foliage that transitions from yellow to orange to red, creating a stunning display all season long. Known for being blissfully low-maintenance, this variety naturally forms a neat, rounded shape without the need for pruning. If you prefer, a light trim after the blooms fade will encourage even more colorful new growth. Deer and rabbits typically ignore Double Play® Candy Corn, and after a year or two in the ground, it becomes quite drought-tolerant, making it a perfect choice for both beauty and practicality in your landscape.
