Product information

Spiraea japonica ‘Dark Magic’ stands out with its near-black young leaves that mature to rich bronze-purple. The foliage holds colour through summer. Small pink flowerheads add interest from June onwards.

Grows to 0.6m tall and wide with a bushy habit. Prefers moist but well-drained soil. Thrives in full sun to partial shade. From our Thurning ground, it settles quickly into gardens near Peterborough.

Prune after flowering to keep shape tidy. Suits mixed borders, low hedges, or containers. Reliable in most UK conditions.
