SPIREA

This is the little spirea bush that is in my yard. When the house was bought (1977) it was a sorry and pathetic looking bush. It had a lot of dead stuff in it and had not been trimmed in who knows how long. One year I had looked at it long enough so that fall I cut it all the way back. The next year it came back with all new growth and looked so good. I have cut it back from time to time since then. Last year it had hardly any bloom but this year it is just full of bloom. Once the bloom is gone I will need to trim it but for now I am just enjoying the profusion of bloom.
