Overview

Mellow Yellow Spirea (Spiraea thunbergii 'Ogon') is a vibrant deciduous shrub notable for its wispy, willow-like golden-yellow foliage that softens garden borders. Maturing at 3-5 feet high and 3-4 feet wide, it boasts tiny white flowers in early spring. Thrives in USDA zones 4-8, preferring full sun to light shade. Low maintenance with moderate water needs, it's excellent for mass plantings or as an eye-catching specimen.
