We grow this miniature shrub in a fairly dry bed and it succeeds well because it falls into afternoon shade. The fuzzy, rich pink flower clusters of Spiraea japonica 'Bullata' ('Crispifolia') fade attractively as they age. 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.
