Description

(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 feet tall, Candy Corn® goes through a 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® Spirea 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 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.

Reviews

Love these shrubs! They are doing really well and we have had very high temps here in Indiana. They arrived very quickly when ordered. Boxed very nicely.

I'm so glad you offered Candy Corn as they are hard to find locally. The shrub is a beautiful addition to my garden and look forward to seeing it grow over the years. The plants were packaged beautifully! Thank you for putting the extra care into give your customers a great experience. You have become my "go-to" nursery for Proven Winners!
