How To Plant Goldflame Spirea
Goldflame Spireas need a good home to live in. They prefer to be planted somewhere they can reach full sun conditions—who doesn’t love a good sunbathe! These Spireas are adaptable to a wide variety of soil types, but anything well-draining is preferred. These plants are known for their heat tolerance—with a little moisture on the soil, these plants can go a long way with immense heat.
How To Water
Brand new Spirea will need a maintained watering schedule to help get established. Once the plant has matured, it will acquire some drought tolerance. Even with this tolerance, this Spirea will still need some slightly moist soil.
How To Fertilize
Mr. Goldflame does not really require much feeding. Although, light feeding is recommended for the growth of your plant. In the spring, we recommend giving your Spirea our Elements Starter Plant Food in granular form for an extra springtime boost!
How To Prune
This little fella will not need much pruning to keep its attractive shape! The plant blooms on new wood, so it is best to do a little cleaning up in the late winter or early spring while the shrub is still dormant for the winter. Remove any dead, diseased, or weak branches. In the summer, you’ll want to remove any old flowers to help your plant direct its nutrients to where it's needed! When you get the older blooms out of the way, there is a greater chance for a second bloom!
