In this regard, how do I get my spirea to bloom again?

You should actually prune your spirea more than once a year, at least twice. Give it a good trim after it flowers in the spring by cutting back the tips of the stems to the top leaf bud. This removes the dead blossoms and also may trigger a second blooming and new leaf growth. You can also shape the shrub at this time.

One may also ask, do you need to deadhead spirea? Deadheading is the process of cutting off flowers that have faded. This process isn't a requirement for the spirea, but it can be very beneficial. Deadheading will prevent the production of seeds in the fall and can save you a lot of cleanup work.
