(Spirea) Three seasons of color? What a treat! The DOUBLE PLAY® series of Spirea are bred for beautiful flowers as well as foliage. DOUBLE PLAY® CANDY CORN® does just that! Standing 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 foot tall, CANDY CORN® goes through seasonal color transformation. In spring the scarlet red foliage emerges, as the spring goes on the older foliage fades to a bright yellow color, but while all this is going on the new growth brings in an orangy-red color for additional interest. In addition to all this great foliage color, DOUBLE PLAY® CANDY CORN® blooms early summer with deep pinkish purple flowers. Watch out! You may even see a hummingbird or butterfly fluttering around. If deer are a problem in your garden, no worries, DOUBLE PLAY® CANDY CORN® is a deer resistant shrub. Hardy in zones 4-9, Spirea is a very versatile planted in a full sun to part shade location and makes a great border or foundation planting. DOUBLE PLAY® CANDY CORN® Spirea is a PROVEN WINNERS® COLORCHOICE® Flowering Shrub.

  1. Malcolm

    Love the changing colors of the leaves.

  2. Karen

    Right at the right time for Halloween and
    the great colors of fall. It will mix right in with the other bushes and trees! May have to order more.

  3. Patt T.

    I love the foliage color of these small shrubs. They add so much interest to your garden, can’t wait to see the blooms this year.

  4. Beth G

    The colors of the leaves and flowers last summer after I planted this were as described…but the color of the leaves when they emerged this spring were spectacular…truly candy apple red…gorgeous! So glad I gave this a try!

  5. Jes

    I love the look of these in my landscape. They are a reddish color in the spring and slowly fade to an orange/yellow color… they are very unique and eye catching! I always see butterflies on the blooms- which are a gorgeous deep purple color, and this shrub is also deer resistant which is great! I give them a light trim in the fall and they flush right back and fill out again in the spring… Love this addition into my landscape and would absolutely reccomend!
