Common Name: Sapho Strain Spirea
‘Anthony Waterer' is a compact cultivar that grows to 2-3' tall and to
3-4' wide. Carmine red flowers in flattened corymbs (to 6" wide) appear
in a showy bloom from late spring to mid-summer. New foliage emerges
with reddish purple tinting in spring, matures to blue-green by summer
and finally turns reddish in fall. Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full
sun. Tolerates light shade. Tolerates a wide range of soils. Remove
faded flower clusters as practicable (light shearing is an option) to
encourage additional bloom. Flowers on new wood, so prune in late winter
to early spring if needed. (Missouri Botanic Garden)
