About the Spiraea - Tor
:
The Spirea 'Tor', Spiraea betuliflia 'Tor', is a
compact spirea reaching a height and width of 2-3
ft. Its tiny white flower clusters are set against a
backdrop of deep green leaves that are almost
iridescent in the summer. Foliage turns a deep,
purplish-red in the fall. The flowers are attractive
to butterflies.
Light shearing will encourage repeat bloom. Tor
blooms on new wood, so pruning in late winter or
early spring is recommended. Because of its small
size and excellent attributes, Tor spirea makes a
great foundation shrub.
