Double Play Doozie Spirea Care Plant your Double Play Doozie Spirea shrubs in part sun to full sun for the best health and bloom. The flowers bloom on both old wood and new branches, which is one reason why the shrubs look so full of color in summer. All you have to do is remove the oldest, woodiest looking stems every few years in early spring. You don't need to remove spent flowers, but a light prune after its first bloom puts even more energy into the shrub's next bloom. Water it regularly, especially in summer heat. Double Play Doozie Spirea Spacing Space groups of spirea plants about 2 to 3 feet apart (measuring from center to center) for the best border or edge effect. In a container, give it plenty of room right in front.
