724-001D4 Sophora davidii 
Sun Zones 6-9 Pale Blue/White flowers
China. We have grown this in our Four Seasons Garden for many years and it has only reached 4.5 ft by 4 ft. Because of the arrangement of its pinnate leaves with small rounded leaflets, it seems very open and see-through in habit. The stems are black, a trait that is most visible in winter after the leaves have fallen. In early summer, terminal racemes bear lovely blue and white pea flowers. Early summer. bloom 8 ft. x 10 ft.

429-005D4 Spiraea douglasii 
Sun, Part Shade Zones 5-8 Pink flowers

This suckering shrub is ideal for naturalizing or to use as a screen. The bright flowers are found in dense, rounded, terminal panicles measuring up to 6 inches. The foliage is bluish green with lightly hairy reverses. As the autumn comes on it turns golden yellow. Early to midsummer. bloom 8 ft. x 5 ft.
More
429-015D4 Spiraea fritschiana 
Sun, Part Shade Zones 4-8 White flowers
The spring show of 3- to 5-inch, somewhat flattened floral heads is attractive. And the rugged look of this small shrub in summer is very pleasing. But it really becomes a favorite at the nursery in autumn when the large notched leaves turn sumptuous golden yellow with burgundy and red highlights. Late spring to early summer. bloom 3 ft. x 3 ft.
More
429-006D4 Spiraea japonica 'Anthony Waterer'

The textured, dark green foliage is somewhat leathery and is less than a half inch wide and long. After many years this is about 20 inches tall with an equal spread although the literature suggests that it is usually shorter. Summer. bloom 16 in. x 20 in.

Sun, Part Shade Zones 4-9 Dark Pink and White flowers
