This is the perfect sized shrub for the smallest of gardens! Matcha Ball ^® ash leaf spirea forms a perfect round ball of pretty fern-like foliage in a fresh shade of green (that green color reminded us of Matcha tea, thus the name). When the foliage first emerges in the spring there is a hint of color in the leaves and petioles that ranges from red to orange- peach in color, ultimately maturing to green. This variety sparsely blooms, which helps maintain the form throughout the growing season.
