'Walbuma', also known as 'Magic Carpet', is a very small, compact spirea. Bursting out in color, it has brilliant red leaves in spring that mature to golden yellow as the summer progresses. In late spring to early summer, flat sprays of small bright pink flowers grace the tips of its branches. Perfect for contrasting and brightening the landscapes. Its petite size makes it ideal for small gardens. It flowers on new wood, so prune in late winter to early spring, if needed. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard and is ignored by deer.
