Spiraea tomentosa, commonly known as Hardhack or Steeplebush, is a hardy, deciduous shrub that adds a burst of color to gardens throughout the summer. It is best known for its striking pink to purple flower clusters that rise above its dense, green foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The plant’s elongated flower spikes resemble steeples, giving it a distinctive look, especially when in full bloom. Steeplebush thrives in moist, well-drained soil and full sun, making it a great option for wetland or rain gardens. With its robust growth, low-maintenance nature, and ability to adapt to various soil conditions, Spiraea tomentosa is a fantastic choice for garden borders, mass plantings, or as a naturalistic landscape element.
