Spirea
As most varieties of Spirea are hardy in the UK I would assume the problem in Florida would be too much heat so watch the water.

Spirea can be trimmed lightly or severely depending on what you are trying to accomplish. If you just want to clean up the spent flower blooms, just cut them off with pruners. Depending on your climate and when you do this, you may get additional blooms the same season.If you want to control the size of the plant to keep it smaller, you can cut it down to any length you desire. This is best done in the early spring or late winter before new growth comes out. If you wait later, you will be risking losing that season's blooms. Spirea are very very durable and they will take most anything. I have sometimes cut it back from 4' to 1'. Shape it to mimic its natural shape, mounded.

Shrubs are woody plants with multiple stems and are generally shorter than trees. Herbs are plants with soft, non-woody stems and are typically used for culinary, medicinal, or aromatic purposes. Shrubs and herbs are both types of plants commonly found in gardens and natural landscapes.
Woodies that can tolerate constricted aeration, nutrient retention, occasional waterlogging, poor drainage, and quick saturation are the kinds of shrubs which tolerate very compacted, hard clay soils. Flood-tolerant shrubs top the list whereas survivalist natives will include chokeberry, spirea, and sumac in the United States of America.
