Spiraea morrisonicola

Spiraea morrisonicola
An exquisite little gem of a plant – no more than 4-5 ins tall making a tiny rounded shrublet. In most respects this is just a very tiny version of S.japonica, and yet every part is perfectly formed – the dense rose-pink flower heads and the rounded, sea-green leaves. The new growth is soft purple.

On top of all this it seems to be hardy and adaptable even on my rather messy alpine bed – as long as it doesn’t get swamped by rough neighbours. Absolutely perfect, but very slow - hence the price.
