Description

The Reeves (Bridal Wreath) Spiraea (Spiraea cantoniensis) is a stunning deciduous shrub known for its graceful, arching branches covered in masses of pure white, double blooms in spring. These delicate, cascading flowers create a breathtaking "bridal veil" effect, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes. Growing up to 4-6 feet tall and wide, this versatile shrub works well as a stand-alone specimen, in borders, or as a flowering hedge.

Reeves Spiraea thrives in USDA Zones 5-9, enjoying full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that tolerates a range of soil types, making it adaptable to various garden settings. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant, requiring little care beyond occasional pruning after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage vigorous blooming the following season.

Where Is the Best Place to Plant Spirea?

This fast-growing shrub provides long-lasting beauty throughout the growing season. While it shines in spring with its abundant blossoms, its finely textured, bright green foliage adds interest to the garden in summer.

Ideal for cottage gardens, mixed borders, or as a flowering accent, the Reeves Bridal Wreath Spiraea is also deer-resistant, adding another layer of ease for gardeners in areas with browsing wildlife.

*The Reeves Spiraea is a deciduous/semi-evergreen plant and will go dormant during the winter months. When this plant is ordered during the Fall/Winter expect seasonal foliage decline(discoloration, spots, leaf drop) or the plant to arrive completely dormant.*

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

How to Space Your Reeves (Bridal Wreath) Spiraea
