Double Play Doozie® spirea is a ground-breaking non-invasive spirea, the first of its kind. Its lack of seed also makes it a perpetual bloomer, putting all of its energy into creating wave after wave of red-pink flowers from early summer through frost. No deadheading required! Foliage emerges in shades of red and lime green before maturing to a dark green. Double Play Doozie® spirea is incredibly low-maintenance and naturally grows as a neat mound but responds well to pruning if any shaping is desired. This innovative Spiraea x was developed by Dr. Tom Ranney at NCSU.
