Very nice video!!!

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

Thanks for watching. I love Spireas. Been trying to spotlight individual species of a variety of plants for a more in depth look. I did Hydrangeas, Dappled Willows, and Little Blue Stem.

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

But, what do you think about Spirea?😂😂 I love spirea as well! Planting some beautiful Magic Carpet this year❤

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

Haha 🤣

[@joannebuzzell6097]

Your knowledge of Spirea is helpful. I just bought my first Spirea yesterday. It is called “Sprinkle of sugar” Spirea. The tag on the plant indicates that it is compact and 3-4’ tall and wide and that is one of the reasons that I chose it. Do you know if this plant is the same as a Glow Girl Spirea?

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

Sorry I don’t. There are so many new varieties to try. Love to see some photos when it blooms!!!

[@joannebuzzell6097]

I will try to remember to take a picture when it blooms in the summer here in NC. It will be very small this year since i just planted it today. Stay tuned.

I have a few of these varieties (candy corn, blue kazoo and double doozie) and I love them. However every year they get terrible aphids. Do you deal with this? Any tips?

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

Thankfully I don’t. I understand Lady bugs help. Try Neem maybe.

Beautiful Could you please add a link for your plant supports with the balls on top. Thanks

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

i buy them locally and I don't believe they ship. I get them from Old Farm Nursery in Lakeville, CT Ask for Judy or Patrick

[@sandraryan7058]

Thanks

[@richbishop7896]

I have many spireas too. How much do you trim them in the spring, a few inches or by half? I don't have any of the newer ones.

[@letstalkgardeningwithrobin]

I only trim to shape after blooming. I try to cut spent blooms but I often give up 😆
