Sorbaria Sorbifolia Sem (PBR) | 2L Pot

An elegant shrub offering a long season of interest. Position: full sun to partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: July to August Hardiness: fully hardy The feathery foliage of this low-growing, suckering shrub emerges each spring in a bright pinkish-bronze flush, but quickly turns fresh lime – and then a rich, dark green. Forming an attractive leafy mound, it is topped from midsummer with large cone-shaped clusters of small white flowers. The interest continues well into autumn, when the foliage changes colour once again – this time taking on reddish tones before it is shed. Garden care: Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant in spring or autumn. Once established, cut back around a quarter of the old stems to the base after flowering. Rooted suckers can be transplanted in autumn or winter.
