Double Play® Candy Corn Spirea
The Double Play® Candy Corn® Spirea is a new colorful replacement for the old Goldflame spirea, which is much more colorful and exciting. The new leaves are orange red, and they continue like that all summer. As the leaves mature they turn pineapple yellow, and then chartreuse green. Flower clusters are produced all summer, in a rich purple-pink. Fall colors are spectacular, from yellow and orange to red and purple. All this on a compact 2-foot bush that is incredibly tough and reliable. Grow it wherever you need color, in beds, as edging, as a low hedge, or in pots. You can never have too much of this great plant in your garden.
- New growth is orange-red
- Leaves mature to gold and chartreuse
- Fall colors or red, yellow, orange and purple
- Flowers all summer in purple-pink
- Sterile and completely non-invasive
The Double Play® Candy Corn® Spirea will be at its colorful best in full sun, but it also grows in some partial shade. It thrives in poor soil, and in all conditions, including urban gardens, as long as the soil is not constantly wet. Established plants are drought resistant and normally free of pests or diseases. This plant has been bred to be sterile, so it does not seed and it can never become invasive.
Even old favorites can use an update, so we were thrilled to see an improved and more colorful version of the old Goldflame spirea arrive on our farm. Everyone loves these colorful little spireas, because they are so useful in shrub beds for all-season color, and they are so amazingly durable and tough as well. When we first saw the Double Play® Candy Corn® Spirea in spring we couldn’t believe the brilliance and showiness of the candy apple red new growth. It really popped in the garden, adding so much color for so little work. Then the leaves turned a great golden yellow, and since the new leaves continue to be red, it remains bright all season. In fall the bush becomes a kaleidoscope of colors, from reds, yellows and oranges to purples.
The flat heads of dark purple-pink flowers that come out all summer take it to another level of brightness. They do not produce seed, so there are no seed heads to remove, and this plant is completely non-invasive and safe to grow anywhere. It is time to forget the old Goldflame, and if you have some tired old plants of it around your garden, it’s time to let them go and bring in the new generation.

On the other hand, the candied spirea offers a delicious and delightful treat that brings joy to the senses.
