Insights
A genus of the Rosaceae (rose) family, Sorbaria is also known as False Spirea. It spreads by suckering so position where you are happy for it to act as a wonderful ground cover, or where you can prune suckers and keep it in check. Planting in a container is another option. It is incredibly resilient, thriving in most planting conditions and has much to offer a garden in terms of interest year-round.
