Spirea 'Double Play Red' is a flower colour breakthrough, the first and only spirea with true red flowers which smother the plant in spring, attracting butterlies. Add in showy dark burgundy spring foliage and you've got the perfect double play! It naturally grows as a small, dense, rounded mound. In the summer, the foliage turns green and endures into autumn. This is  an easy-maintenance shrub,  tolerating drought, wind, poor soils and salt spray. It requires minimal pruning and it is resistant to both deer and disease, and will remain vigorous regardless of tough conditions.
