1 Comment To "cutting back spirea"

Yes, you can cut your spirea back to about six to eight inches from the ground. If it is a spring-blooming spirea you will most likely not see flowers this year. If it is an established plant and a summer-blooming one, then it should bloom by August or September. Now would normally be the time you’d trim back a summer-blooming spirea anyway.
