First Editions® Sundrop™ Spirea - Spiraea 'Bailcarol'
This little gem will add a drop of sunshine to any border. A natural hybrid of 'Goldmound' and Daphne, discovered by Terry Schwartz of Bailey Nurseries. Beautiful sprays of pink flowers in early summer stand out against petite, golden foliage. A natural dwarf with a rounded habit, requires little or no pruning. Our trials show Sundrop™ to be hardier than most golden spirea. Foliage holds its golden-yellow color even in the summer heat.
Water regularly as needed. Feed in spring with an all purpose fertilizer prior to new spring growth. Little pruning is necessary. In colder climates, winter die back is common. Prune to ground level in early spring, treat as a perennial. Remove spent blooms to promote more flowers.
