Habitat of the herb: Japanese Spiraea: Mountains all over Japan.
Other uses of the herb: Plants can be grown as a low hedge, the cultivar "Albiflora" has been especially mentioned. "Bumalda" has also been recommended. Plants can be grown as a ground cover when planted about 1.2 metres apart each way.
Propagation of Japanese Spiraea: Seed - we have no information for this species but suggest sowing the seed as soon as it is ripe in a cold frame if possible. It is likely to require stratification before it germinates, so stored seed should be sown in a cold frame as early in the year as you receive it. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle, and grow them on in a cold frame for their first winter. Plant them out in late spring or early summer of the following year. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, July/August in a light sandy soil a frame. Cuttings of mature wood of the current seasons growth, 15cm long, October/November in an outdoor frame. Another report says that September is a good time to do this. Division of suckers in early spring. They can be planted out straight into their permanent positions.
Cultivation of the herb: Mountains all over Japan.
Medicinal use of Japanese Spiraea: None known
Known hazards of Spiraea japonica: None known
