Spiraea japonica ‘Walbuma’ MAGIC CARPET

It was selected from third generation seedlings of self-pollinated Spiraea japonica ‘Goldflame’. ‘Walbuma’ is a compact and spreading shrub with terminal clusters of small bright pink flowers. Its young shoots and leaves are red and mature to variations of gold, depending on light.

Fall coloration is a rich russet. ‘Walbuma’ is considerably shorter than its parent plant, growing 1 to 2 ft. tall and 2 to 3 ft. wide. United States Plant Patent #PP9,363 awarded November 7, 1995.

Features

New and improved! The second generation of Invincibelle Spirit hydrangea delivers on all accounts: it has darker foliage, strong, supportive stems, and larger flowers that are a richer pink that ages to an attractive green. This hydrangea grows from Manitoba to Mobile, blooming every year from mid-summer to frost. It is a strong rebloomer, and will deliver plenty of rich pink flowers through the summer and into fall. $1 from each Invincibelle® Spirit II sold is donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. We encourage you to donate as well. BCRF is dedicated to advancing the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer in our lifetime.

Fire Light® is the standard to measure all panicle hydrangeas!

It makes a great cut flower, fresh or dried, and can be used as a hedge, specimen, or incorporated into flower gardens and foundation plantings. Top three reasons to grow Fire Light® hydrangea:
    • Exceptionally hardy, growing and flowering well even in chilly zone 3
    • large flowers age to red early in the summer for a colorful display

Cut the branches back by about one-third their total length. This plant tolerates a wide range of conditions, but does not grow well in soggy soil. Plant in full sun in zones 3-7; afternoon shade is preferable in warmer areas. A good 2-3″ (5-7.6 cm) layer of shredded bark mulch over the roots is very beneficial. If desired, fertilize in early spring with a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants, like a rose fertilizer.
