Positive	ceejaytown	On Sep 1, 2006, ceejaytown from The Woodlands, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: Lime Mound Spiraea is a compact shrub with a mounding - almost cascading - habit. The foliage changes from chartreuse green in early spring to lime green in the summer. The soft pink flowers in spring are an added attraction. The foliage seems to glow in contrast to the darker greens of other plants - a bright spot in the garden. I really like this plant!
