Spiraea Babies


This little guy was growing about a foot away from a larger spiraea. I'm going to try and transplant this one to see if it will grow.

Spiraea Shrubs

The Spiraeas are starting to flower. If trimmed after they are done flowering, they will usually flower again.
Spiraeas need pruning every year. Dead and wilted branches should be cut off close to the ground and sticks and leaves that may have collected along the base of the plant should be removed. I filled a wheel barrow with branches from this one.

Snowbird Potentilla

In desperate need of pruning!


Removing all of the dead branches will rejuvenate the Snowbird Potentilla.



Hiding the Dog Kennel


Purple Iris plants, a white Clematis and 2 Spireas add color and hide the kennel.
