Add item to quote to see pricing

Spiraea thunbergii 'Ogon' is more commonly known as the Golden Thunberg's Spirea, and for good reason. This magnificent specimen originates from Japan and flaunts a stunning array of colors throughout the year, making for an ever-evolving display in your garden. Its slender, arching branches form an elegant framework, blanketed by minuscule, willow-esque leaves that transition from a radiant golden yellow in spring to a lush vibrant green in summer, culminating in a striking orange-yellow come fall. As winter approaches, its fine, reddish-brown twigs add another layer of visual intrigue. Come spring, the Spirea truly comes into its own as it erupts in a profusion of small, nodding white flowers that dance against its golden foliage. Growing up to 5 feet in both height and width, this durable, deer-resistant shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires regular to moderate watering. Whether you're looking to add a pop of color to your garden borders, seeking a low hedge or simply in need of an accent plant, the Golden Thunberg's Spirea offers a captivating spectacle in all seasons.
