The magic goes away As the gentle breeze rustles the leaves and the sun begins to set, there is a sense of magic in the air. It's that feeling of wonder and possibility that makes you believe that anything is possible. But just as quickly as it arrives, the magic can slip away, leaving a void in its wake. When the magic goes away, the world seems duller, less vibrant. The colors that once popped now blend into a monotonous gray. The laughter and joy that filled the air are replaced by silence and sadness.
Keep in mind, specific varieties and different growing conditions can affect the rate at which plants grow. Variations in size may occur.

Magic carlet plant
Height: 24 inches
Hardiness Zone: 3
Other Names: Spiraea japonica
A first rate garden detail shrub for color effect, with foliage emerging bright red fading to yellow in summer, turning deep red in fall, and showy flat-topped clusters of pink flowers in early summer; forms a dense, compact ball, neat and tidy
Magic Carpet Spirea features showy clusters of hot pink flowers at the ends of the branches from late spring to early summer. It has attractive yellow deciduous foliage which emerges tomato-orange in spring. The small serrated pointy leaves are highly ornamental and turn an outstanding scarlet in the fall.
Magic Carpet Spirea is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
This shrub will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Magic Carpet Spirea is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Mass Planting
- Rock/Alpine Gardens
- General Garden Use
- Groundcover
Magic Carpet Spirea will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.
This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
Give this sun lover as much sun as you can in your landscape. It prefers well-drained soil but is versatile. Add a layer of mulch to 2 feet outside of the plant. This will keep the roots cool and cut down on surface evaporation.
It could be as simple as the first snowfall or as grand as falling in love. It's that feeling that makes you believe in something greater than yourself, something beyond the ordinary. But it's also fleeting, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky. When the magic goes away, it's easy to feel lost and disillusioned. The things that once brought us joy no longer hold the same allure. We question the meaning of it all, wondering if the magic was ever real to begin with. But perhaps the magic was never meant to last forever. Maybe it's meant to remind us that there is beauty in the world, even if it's not always within our grasp. The magic may go away, but that doesn't mean it can't come back. It may take time and patience, but with the right mindset, we can create our own magic. We can find joy in the simple moments and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. We can let go of our expectations and embrace the unpredictability of life. In doing so, we may discover that the magic never truly left - it was just waiting for us to find it again..
