Ural False Spirea
Sorbaria sorbifolia 'Sem'
1 gallon pot
 
Vividly colored, pink to red, fern-like spring foliage turns chartreuse with bronze tips, then solid green as it matures on this hardy, compact shrub. Also known as Ural False Spirea, this cultivar does not have the invasive characteristic of the parent False Spirea, making it much improved variant for the home gardener.
 
Showy panicles of tiny, white flowers that resemble astilbe adorn the foliage Jun though Aug. Superb in foundation plantings or for accenting borders and raised beds. Works well on slopes. Deciduous.
