The shrub has been potted for around three years and has flowered each year. This year it flowered. Flowered have died but the leaves are dying too. Should I plant it in the ground now or wait. Concerned it has outgrown its pot. We have had a very hot May here in the UK. Thanks.
Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. This usually happens when overcompensating water when it is hot, and these plants do not like the soil to remain moist.
Treat with a fungicide now, but wait until it cools off to plant.

What fertilizes spirea better, miracid or miracle grow?
We don't endorse or recommend specific products, but you should look for 10-10-10 granulated slow-release fertilizer at your garden center and follow the directions. Here's a helpful article:

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.
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:

My spirea pink double play were blooming ang looking so healthy, their leaves were such a pale green I thought they needed iron so I gave them some :( hope I didn't kill them. I've been feeding them once a week with miracle grow until established -- I was told 90 days is that right? They're still bushy but are thinning; what can I do? I love these bushes!
This looks like a combination of nutrient burn from overfeeding, soil being too acidic, possibly from using iron AND high nitrogen fertilizers together, and it looks to, also have a fungal infection. This is normally caused by overwatering, which is common when attempting care of a newly planted plant.
What I would do is only feed once per month. Instead of using iron, try using WETTABLE SULFUR instead. I would also apply a handful of DOLOMITIC LIME per plant to help balance out the pH from treatment. Since there is mulch, you will only want to water when the soil is completely dry down to about 5 or 6 inches. This will prevent overwatering and future infection. You can also try pre-made fungicides. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm
We planted two Magic Carpet Spirea in early summer and they were doing well, but now seem to be dying. It's been a relatively dry summer, but we've watered them once or twice weekly as needed (more when first planted). They are in mulch beside a rose bush and two trees which filled out so the Spirea primarily gets morning sun and afternoon shade. We're grateful for any advice!
Unfortunately, it may have received a little too much water at some point! This looks to be a bad blight. Blights can be exacerbated by wet weather, or caused by unclean pruning tools, usually.
