Plant description
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.

How to care for Sorbaria sorbifolia Sem (PBR):
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.
Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
