Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

The perfect foliage shrub for small gardens, providing texture and changing colour throughout the growing season. Sorbaria sorbifolia ‘Matcha Ball’ is a compact, rounded shrub with ferny foliage that emerges with attractive reddish-peach tints in spring, later maturing to green in summer before transitioning to yellow in the autumn. Grown for its handsome foliage, its white, fluffy summer blooms are sparsely produced, so it maintains its neat, dense habit all season. A well-behaved shrub for borders and containers that tolerates all types of soil and thrives in sun or shade. Height and spread: 60-90cm (24-35in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow Sorbaria in any moist, neutral to alkaline, well-drained soil in sun or part shade. False Spiraea can also be grown at the waterside, in waterlogged soil.

Sorbaria plants can spread quickly once established to create small thickets. Where necessary, remove suckers as they appear to restrict the spread on the plant. Sorbaria responds well to occasional restrictive pruning to keep them restrained and in good shape.
