Spiraea betulifolia, commonly called birchleaf spirea, is native to Japan and eastern Asia. It is a dwarf shrub that typically matures as a dense rounded mound of foliage to 3' tall and as wide. Birch-like, round to egg-shaped leaves (to 2" long) have toothed margins. White flowers in clusters (corymbs) cover the foliage in mid-summer. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
