Sorbaria sorbifolia (False Spiraea) 'Sem'
A vigourous deciduous shrub that brings striking seasonal interest with its fern-like, pinnate leaves that emerge coppery pink in spring, maturing to bright green in summer before turning golden yellow in autumn. In mid-summer, it produces large, fluffy plumes of creamy white flowers that attract pollinators and add a soft, airy texture to the garden. Extremely hardy and adaptable, it thrives in a variety of soil conditions, including damp areas, making it ideal for naturalistic plantings or as a fast-growing screen. Perfect for adding bold foliage contrast and year-round visual appeal to borders, woodland edges or larger gardens where its spreading habit can be accommodated.
