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

http://bobmoore.mvps.org/images/unk_plant.jpg

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?

It seems that S x billiardii is a misname for S x pseudosalicifolia
which is a hybrid see

So it's anyone's guess
David



Thanks for that, David. It does seem a bit muddled.
