Firelight Spirea Butterfly Bush because it often blooms bestFirelight Spirea (Spiraea x bumalda 'Firelight') Firelight Spirea is a compact, mounded shrub that keeps beds looking bright and finished from spring through fall. New growth emerges in warm orange tones, then settles into soft gold to yellow green foliage that lifts nearby colors. In summer, clusters of pink flowers add steady color and bring in pollinators. It is easy to maintain, fits small spaces well, and performs reliably in sunny landscapes
