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.

Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Prune after spring bloom if desired.
