Spirea is a thicket-forming shrub that produces tiny pink flowers in dense clusters. The flowers are pink to deep rose and tiny, but grouped in large numbers in long, narrow clusters. This plant occurs in moist to wet habitats such as streambanks, swamps, and lake margins. It is found throughout the coast.
The wood of spirea has been used to make spreaders when smoking fish.
