Spiraea japonica ‘Golden Princess’ – Japanese Spiraea
Spiraea japonica ‘Golden Princess’ is a compact and colourful deciduous shrub, valued for its bright golden foliage and clusters of rosy-pink summer flowers. The vivid leaves emerge golden-yellow in spring and hold their colour well through the season, creating a strong contrast with the soft pink blooms that appear in abundance during summer.
Reaching around 60–80 cm in height with a similar spread, this neat rounded shrub is ideal for smaller gardens, front borders, low hedging, or container planting. Its tidy habit and vibrant foliage make it highly effective even when not in flower.
The flat clusters of pink flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators, adding further value to wildlife-friendly gardens. Spiraea ‘Golden Princess’ works particularly well in mixed shrub borders, contemporary planting schemes, or as a colourful edging plant where its bright foliage can lift surrounding greens.
This hardy shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is easy to grow, tolerant of a range of conditions, and responds well to pruning. Cutting back in late winter or early spring will maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh colourful new growth.
Flowering Period
Spring: Bright golden foliage emerges and provides strong colour
June – July: Clusters of rosy-pink flowers appear above the foliage
Summer – Autumn: Golden leaves continue to provide colour and contrast
With its vibrant foliage, cheerful flowers, and compact habit, Spiraea japonica ‘Golden Princess’ is an excellent low-maintenance shrub for adding reliable colour and structure to gardens of all sizes.
