Spiarea Is Dying

Question

some of the bushes are ok, some are dying and brown on the inside, has it been too hot for them? Did I cut them back too much in the fall. We had little snow this winter in New Jersey.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. The most common reason for failing Spirea is wet soil. They do not tolerate wet soils and will succumb to infection rather quickly.

A fungicide will be necessary, as well as proper care. These articles will help:
