Etymology
Spiraea comes from the Greek word speira, which means 'coil' or 'wreath', because people once used its branches and flower clusters to make wreaths. You can also think of the word spiral, which comes from the same root, and that round, coiled idea helps you remember the plant's rounded clusters of flowers and why gardeners grow it.
