Notes: Glow Girl® birch leaf spirea is the perfect plant for northern landscapes: a gold-leaf version of 'Tor'! Buds with hints of red in them open to white spring flowers. Sunny yellow foliage holds its color well, and the full, compact habit is very attractive. It doesn't burn in the summer and has excellent fall color. Both hardy and heat tolerant.
