Full Sun (At Least 6 Hours Of Direct Sunlight)Mature Height 3 - 4 FeetMature Spread 3 - 4 FeetGrowing Zones 4 - 9Use As A Thriller In ContainersAs a compact shrub, the Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea is hugely versatile in its use. Forming a mass of attractive foliage that is burgundy when young and green when it matures, it remains less than four feet when fully grown. In late spring, it produces a dazzling array of pink flowers, which are loved by pollinators and can even rebloom over the summer months. Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea is a tough and hardy shrub that is low maintenance. Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea is deer resistant and suitable for rural landscapes. A deciduous shrub, it dies back over winter before new growth appears in spring. It is exceptionally cold hardy and can grow well in zones 4 to 9. Due to its compact form, Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea is suitable for growing in beds or borders, or even a large container. Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea CareFor the best blooms, plant Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea in full sun. It can, however, tolerate some partial shade. Spireas hate wet feet so a free-draining, but fertile soil is recommended. On planting and until established, water this shrub regularly. Once this shrub has settled its roots in, it can tolerate some drought, but prefers its soil to be kept moist. Although it is a light feeder, a slow-release, general fertilizer can be applied in early spring to encourage a mass of flowers. After flowering, the Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea can be lightly cut back to the next set of leaves. In winter, any dead stems can be removed, and the plant can be cut back harder if necessary, ready to produce new growth in spring. Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea SpacingOver time, the Empire® Ice Dragon™ Spirea can reach a maximum of 4 feet tall by 4 feet wide. If planting more than one out as a group a spacing of 3 to 4 feet is recommended between plants. If growing this spirea in a planter, a pot size of 8 inches wider than its current root ball is advisable.
