Spirea x bumalda 'Limemound'
This is a low mounding spreading deciduous shrub with soft chartreuse new growth, maturing to a light green through summer, and showing reds and oranges in fall.
Spireas, such as Anthony Waterer make excellent plants for adding to the front of mixed shrub borders that have a lot of evergreen plants. The twiggy deciduous form of the plant softens the stark green leaves of the evergreens in winter.

Planting and Growing False Spirea Plants
Although the Astilbe is generally considered to be a partial to full shade plant, they appreciate a little morning sun. They do, however need protection from the hot afternoon sun.
False spireas form large masses of arching branches that are covered with green pinnate leaves. Billowy white sprays of flowers appear in mid- to late summer. Mature plants spread where you let them.

Spirea are easy-care shrubs that flower best when grown in full sun. They can be planted in the spring or fall. The new plants should be kept moist while they are getting established, but older shrubs can tolerate dry soil and some drought.
Spirea is no chore. You plant it, it grows, it blossoms swell. It can be made handsomer with annual pruning, & it will be more densely leafed & healthier with regular watering, but even if neglected it'll flourish.
