Spiraea tomentosa
Steeplebush
- Full sun to light shade
- Wet to moist soil (not fond of consistently dry settings)
- 3' to 4' height, spreads over time to form a thicket.
- Ontario Native, thriving in high moisture meadows and along shorelines.
A moisture loving native shrub, this summer blooming spireas thrives on shorelines and in seasonally wet areas, including ditches and wet meadows. Very popular with pollinators, this species is new to the spaces I tend, having been grown from seeds I received from the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library.
