About the
Spiraea - Tor :
The Spirea 'Tor', Spiraea betuliflia 'Tor',
is a compact spirea reaching a height and
width of 2-3 ft. Its tiny white flower
clusters are set against a backdrop of deep
green leaves that are almost iridescent in
the summer. Foliage turns a deep,
purplish-red in the fall. The flowers are
attractive to butterflies.
Light shearing will encourage repeat
bloom. Tor blooms on new wood, so pruning in
late winter or early spring is recommended.
Because of its small size and excellent
attributes, Tor spirea makes a great
foundation shrub.
