Double Play Doozie Spirea from Proven Winners is the most beautiful, innovative, ground-breaking Spirea to ever grace a landscape. The show begins in early Spring when the foliage emerges in blazing brilliant color - in this case, deep red. By late Spring, the flowers begin to emerge, a bright, glowing purple-red that truly sings in the landscape. And as Summer comes on, the show doesn't stop: it just keeps flowering, and flowering, and flowering. Because it produces no seeds, it puts all of its energy into flowering. It does it all with the same good looks, low maintenance, drought tolerance, and deer resistance that you expect from Spirea, too.
