Word origin
The term 'spirea' is derived from the name of the Greek word 'speiraia', which refers to a type of willow found in Europe. This name was then Latinized in botany to characterize the plant's ornamental features. The Rosaceae family, which includes spirea, boasts several hundred genera and thousands of species, highlighting the extensive diversity of plants within this family.
