I adore my double play gold spirea. I planted it 2 years ago and it is thriving in full sun, clay soil. I do fertilize it once in the spring, but that's it and it probably doesn't need it. Super drought tolerant, cold tolerant and gorgeous when the leaves emerge in the spring. I adore the contrast of the bright gold leaves against my wine and roses weigela. A stunning combo.
