Description
False spiraea is an erect, lush shrub in the family Rosaceae. It spreads by subterraneous runners and roots reach deep into the ground. In Finland, the false spiraea stock cultivated in the past had very poor seed production and it only propagated vegetatively. Today, stocks that produce seed are also available and their potential to spread is significantly higher.
