    Magic Carpet Spirea (Spiraea japonica ‘Magic Carpet’)

    Magic Carpet Spirea (Spiraea japonica ‘Magic Carpet’) is a compact deciduous shrub known for its vibrant golden-red new foliage and bright pink summer blooms. This colourful shrub provides season-long interest with changing foliage tones that range from bronze-red in spring to golden-yellow and green through summer.

    Clusters of bright pink flowers appear in early to mid-summer, attracting butterflies and pollinators while adding bold contrast against the colourful foliage. Its naturally dense, mounded growth habit makes it ideal for borders, edging, foundation plantings, and mass planting in both residential and commercial landscapes.

    In Alberta, Magic Carpet Spirea performs exceptionally well in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions. It is drought-tolerant once established and extremely low-maintenance, making it a dependable shrub for Prairie climates where durability and long-lasting colour are priorities.

    Sun Requirements ▾

    Full sun. Plant in a location receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Full sun produces the brightest golden foliage, richest spring colour, and the heaviest flowering.

    Watering Instructions ▾

    Moderate. Water regularly during establishment to develop a healthy root system. Once established, Magic Carpet Spirea is moderately drought tolerant but performs best with occasional deep watering during extended dry periods.

    Care Tips ▾

    Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to maintain a compact shape and encourage vigorous colourful foliage. Remove spent flowers after the first bloom to encourage a lighter rebloom later in the season. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
