Spiraea x bumalda 'Goldflame'
Choose Goldflame Spirea if you want a rounded shrub with changing foliage color and early summer pink bloom. The tradeoff: it is not a privacy plant, and deer may browse it where pressure is high.
Buy This If
You want gold-toned foliage.
You like a rounded shrub shape.
You can prune after flowering.
Skip This If
You need winter screening.
Your soil stays wet.
Deer browse the bed often.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The foliage color carries the show longer than the flowers, especially in a front bed or repeated planting.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a steady pace without becoming a big, fast-moving shrub.
Maintenance
B
A light trim after bloom keeps it tighter, but skipping pruning can make it look less clean over time.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
B
It fits many home beds, but it still needs room to round out instead of being squeezed against a walk.
Screening Value
D
It is deciduous and too low and open in winter to solve privacy needs.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Goldflame Spirea for sunny beds where foliage color matters more than screening. Give it drainage and occasional shaping, and do not count on it where deer feed regularly.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it flower?
Yes, it has pink flower clusters in early summer, but the foliage is the bigger reason to plant it.
Should I cut it back?
A light trim after flowering helps keep the rounded shape and freshens the plant.
Will it stay colorful in shade?
Color is strongest with more sun; too much shade makes the foliage less bright.
CLEARANCE
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
