Discussion

Hess and Stoynoff described Spiraea ×hitchcockii as a naturally occurring hybrid of S. douglasii var. menziesii and S. splendens var. rosea; it has been found within the Cascades of Oregon and is very likely to be found in other areas of the Pacific Northwest, where the two species have overlapping ranges.
