Spiraea media, the Russian spiraea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae.[2][3] It is native to cool-temperate Eurasia, from Austria to Kamchatka, and it has been introduced to Great Britain, Germany, the Baltic States, Belarus, and central European Russia.[1] An erect shrub reaching 2 m (7 ft), it is typically found in mixed broadleaf/coniferous forests and on grassy or rocky slopes at elevations from 700 to 1,800 m (2,000 to 6,000 ft).[3] There appear to be cultivars, with 'Smsmbk' (trade designation Double Play Blue Kazoo) being more compact at 60 cm (2 ft).[4][5]
