Candy Corn Spirea features colors reminiscent of candy corns. Bright candy apple red new growth in spring matures to pineapple yellow. New growth later in the season is a bright orange. Wine purple flowers make a lovely contrast to the foliage colors. Deadheading spent blooms will help extend the bloom time as well as provide additional new growth color. Trim to shape after initial round of flowering. Plant individually or in masses, this spirea is drought tolerant once established.
