'''''Spiraea douglasii''''', commonly known as '''Hardhack Steeplebush''', is a shrub of the [[Spiraea]] family. It is found in northwestern [[United States]], [[Canada]], and southern [[Alaska]], east to [[Alberta]] and [[Idaho]]. Large clusters of small pink flowers form spires in early summer, later turning dark and persisting. The leaves are toothed toward the tips. Undersides are whitish with prominent veins.
