Spiraea ×pyramidata, commonly known as Pyramid Spirea or Pyramid Meadowsweet, is a hybrid perennial shrub that exhibits a moderate growth rate. This deciduous plant typically reaches 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters) in height and 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) in width. It is characterized by its dense, upright growth habit and clusters of small, pink flowers that bloom in the summer, providing a showy display that attracts pollinators. The foliage is a bright green, turning yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to the garden.

Pyramid Spirea is valued for its ornamental flowers and compact form, making it an excellent choice for border plantings, foundation plantings, and as a low hedge in residential and public gardens. It is relatively easy to maintain, requiring only occasional pruning to maintain its shape and promote vigorous growth. While it is adaptable to various soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, it prefers a medium to fast drainage and consistent moisture. Pyramid Spirea thrives in full sun to part shade, which encourages the best flowering. It is generally pest and disease resistant but can be susceptible to common spirea issues such as leaf spot and powdery mildew if conditions are too damp or if airflow is restricted.CC BY-SA 4.0
