| Maintenance Notes | Double Play Spirea is a popular plant because it is blissfully low maintenance, and Double Play Candy Corn spirea is no exception. The low-maintenance spiraea naturally takes on a nice, rounded habit without pruning. If you wish, you can give it a trim after the flowers fade, which will encourage even more colorful new growth. Double Play spirea are typically ignored by deer and even rabbits, and are quite drought tolerant after a year or two in the ground. |
