Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess' - Little Princess Spirea

The 'Little Princess' Spirea could be called the big sister of 'Alpina'. Slightly larger mature size, slightly larger leaf, and flower clusters are just a little bit bigger, too. But that's roughly where the differences end. 'Little Princess' has short, stout leaves, blooms in late spring to early summer providing copious amounts of dainty light pink and white flowers. As with most Spirea this variety prefers full sun, but will adapt to part sun, is adaptable to most soils, and can benefit from a hard pruning back every several years.
