|discussion=<p><i>Spiraea prunifolia</i> is an ornamental shrub that can be found established in many areas. The double-flowered variant (most common in cultivation) may be assigned to var. prunifolia; single-flowered forms may be assigned to three other varieties [see Lu L. T. and C. Alexander (2003) for a key to native varieties in China]. L. H. Bailey et al. (1949), W. J. Bean (1970–1988, vol. 4), H. S. Maxwell and S. G. Knees (1989), A. Huxley et al. (1992, vol. 4), and references therein provide useful additional information on variation in <i>S. prunifolia</i>. M. De Cleene and J. De Ley (1981) noted that <i>S. prunifolia</i> and <i>S. ×vanhouttei</i> (see discussion below) are hosts to infectious hairy-root.</p>
