bridal wreath spiraea

For bridal wreath spiraea, water regularly during its first growing season to ensure adequate establishment. During the warmer months of the year, the plant should be watered every 7-10 days. Water deeply so that the soil is moist to a depth of 8-10 inches. Once established, water the plant once a week during periods of low rainfall or drought. In colder months, reduce the amount of water and water only during warm and dry spells. Avoid overwatering the plant which can cause root rot.

Bridal wreath spiraea (Spiraea prunifolia) grows best in climates with plenty of sunlight. It prefers full sun to partial shade and should receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. When grown in full sun, this plant will flower profusely and remain healthy throughout the growing season. In shadier areas, the flowering will be less prolific and growth may be stunted. This plant can tolerate a wide range of temperatures but prefers cool summer conditions with hot, sunny days and cooler nights. It should be protected from extreme temperatures and drought. It is best planted in locations with protected areas from direct afternoon sun to keep the leaves from wilting.

Bridal wreath spiraea (Spiraea prunifolia) should be pruned twice a year: once in late winter and then again in summer. During the late winter pruning, remove all of the dead wood and any overly long branches. Then, in the summer, cut back the newly grown branches that are more than 2 feet long to the desired size. Pruning this way will help encourage new growth and maintain the desired shape and size of the plant.
