Why choose false spirea? Sorbaria sorbifolia, or false spirea, actually belongs to the rose family—and it produces fewer suckers than true spirea. If you're looking for a low-maintenance, prolific flowerer, False Spirea Sem is perfect. The unique peachy-pink coloring of the new foliage brightens spring, before shifting to a summery lemon-lime tone. The shrub displays dense, pyramidal panicles up to 10 inches long consisting of white, foamy flowers. In fall, it bursts into flamboyant orange and red hues. A truly impressive plant, perfect for any border or as a focal point in the landscape. Sorbaria sorbifolia 'SEM' PP16336
