I have had this growing in my front garden for many years, but have
never known what it:

Tha plant is a clump around 7 feet high and four feet wide. It flowers
from May onwards, with these violent pink panicles. It does propagate
itself, but not problematically.

Can anyone here identify it?

Spiraea I think



I'd say Spiraea X billiardii




I thought it was Spirea douglasii. Are they synonymous, do you know, David?
