Frequently asked questions(5)
Spiraea is best planted in spring (March-April) or autumn (September-October). Spring planting is preferable as the bush establishes better before winter.
During active growth and flowering, water 1-2 times per week. In hot, dry weather, increase watering to daily. In autumn and spring, reduce watering frequency.
In spring, apply universal mineral fertilizer for shrubs. In summer during flowering, use phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Organic matter (compost, manure) can be added during mulching.
In spring, perform sanitary pruning, removing broken and frost-damaged shoots. After flowering, remove faded flower clusters and shorten young shoots by 1/3. In autumn, remove weak branches. Perform complete rejuvenation pruning every 3-4 years.
Spiraea 'Little Princess' is frost-hardy to -30°C. In temperate zones and southern regions, no additional protection is required. In regions with harsh winters, mulch the root circle and, if necessary, cover with evergreen branches.
