Spiraea japonica 'Double Play Big Bang' - 7.5Litre North Western Plants This purple-leaved Smoke Bush thrives

This purple-leaved Smoke Bush thrives in a sunny position

In late autumn and early winter

We also recommend feeding with a good shrub fertiliser (we like Vitax Q4) twice a year (spring and autumn) and occasionally giving it a boost with a liquid seaweed feed containing iron

adding even more seasonal interest and perfectly complementing the spectacular autumn foliage
