Features
Spiraea media Double Play® Blue Kazoo® brings unexpected drama to the garden with its cool-toned foliage and soft summer flowers. This hardy deciduous shrub offers a refreshing colour palette — from smoky blue leaves to blush-white blooms — and requires very little fuss to thrive.
From the innovative Double Play® series, ‘Blue Kazoo’ was bred for multi-season interest. New foliage emerges with hints of burgundy, transitioning to blue-green through summer before warming to red and copper in autumn — a quiet showstopper in mixed borders or low hedging.
- Flowers: June–July
- Hardy
- Soil: Moist but well-drained
- Aspect: South, west or east facing
- Sun: Full sun or part shade
Prune lightly in early spring to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. Drought tolerant once established, though watering during prolonged dry spells will keep foliage at its best. A reliable choice for low-maintenance planting schemes or layering into wildlife-friendly borders.
