Maintenance Notes:
Double Play Doozie is as low maintenance as other spirea. You can give it a light trim after its first bloom
in late spring if you'd like to see a reflush of the bright red new growth. Remove the oldest, woodiest
stems every couple of years or so to keep growth fresh and vigorous.
