Double Play® Blue Kazoo® Spirea

Cool blue-green foliage is an excellent backdrop to this plant’s crisp white blooms. Hints of burgundy in the new growth foreshadow the rich red foliage color it develops in the fall. This variety has a more graceful habit and restrained color than most other varieties, and is an elegant choice for low maintenance landscapes.
