photo location Belfair, WA
plant's place of origin
This plant originally from Camp Pond near Elfendahl Pass (Mason County, Washington, US)family
Rosaceae
notes Plants located in a dry Douglas fir forest with Spiraea douglasii and Spiraea betulifolia. Douglas spirea inhabits pond riparian edges, and birch-leaved spirea inhabits the areas within the forest zone outside riparian. Pyramid spirea is a cross between the two, and tends to inhabit the dryer zones in this area. It also is shade tolerant and can be found growing sparsely under open Douglas fir canopies, and in massive colonies on open ground. I encountered three distinct color forms - pink-lavender (this one), pure white, and white with pinkish center. Very aggressive in the native garden and must be cut back yearly. Faint rose fragrance when weather is sunny. Easily rooted from cuttings placed in a bucket of water. In June 1980 during a USFS TES plant survey contract, I encountered this color form growing at the edge of a pond located in the Colville Nat'l Forest.camera Canon SX20 IS
