Spiraea japonica "Genpei", synonym "shirobana", is also called muscle shrub in Dutch. It is a small, deciduous shrub with a bushy, round upright shape. The leaves are lanceolate, light green to dark green in summer and bronze-red in autumn. From June to August, this muscular shrub blooms profusely with two-tone pink-red and pink-white flowers in flattened corymbs on annual wood. This spiraea likes a sunny to slightly shaded position in a well-drained, cool and moist soil. This plant is hardy, tolerates sea wind and air pollution well, is pest and disease free and, in addition to the sea of flowers in spring, also offers beautiful reddish-purple leaf coloring in autumn.
