I saw this in an advert for gravel paths and there was no name for the plant. It’s so pretty! Can anyone please help? I think it would look so nice along my narrow path
Thank you Owlbear! That’s exactly it, just looked that up. Many thanks. Hm... not sure whether to use it, have heard Spiraea can be invasive? Newbie to gardening here! Thanks again x
Spirea douglasii is a monster. When we moved in there was a whole area of it - about 3m by 4m. Roots were like a solid fibrous carpet - nightmare to get out 😳 Our tree surgeon ran their stump grinder over it for us, we couldn’t get a spade through it before that

If you want a blowsy border to your path - flowers from May to Oct - self seeds but easy to remove seedlings. Stays as a green mound through winter, then give it a hard trim in March. Or can wait and do Chelsea Chop.
