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!

Shipping Delays:

Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
