Spiraea Lancifolia Var. Tomentosa

Tomentose spiraea, scientifically known as Spiraea lancifolia var. tomentosa, is a striking shrub native to the mountainous regions of western North America. Its distinguishing feature is the dense, woolly foliage that covers its stems and leaves, giving it a soft, fuzzy appearance. This variation of Spiraea lancifolia thrives in cool, moist environments, often found in forested slopes and meadows. With its delicate pink or white flowers, it adds a subtle yet elegant beauty to the landscape during spring. Due to its unique characteristics, it is a popular choice for gardeners seeking both ornamental value and ecological benefits.
