description for "Spiraea: Spiraea 'Bailcarol'"
First Editions® Sundrop™ Spirea 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. Trials show Sundrop™ to be hardier than most golden spirea. Foliage holds its golden-yellow color even in the summer heat. Fall foliage is tinged with red. Grows to a height of 12-15 inches with a 2-3 foot spread. Zones 4-8. Edited by M.Tate.
