If you’re looking for easy-to-grow flowering shrubs that also feature fantastic foliage to give color from spring to fall - then search no longer. Spiraeas (sometimes spelt spireas) are the answer.
These twiggy, well-behaved shrubs lose their leaves in winter and will grow almost anywhere, including some of the coldest parts of the country. Some bring us richly colored leaves, while others deliver a flurry spring blossom, making them some of the best shrubs for the front of a house.
