Dwarf mountain ash reaching only three to four feet. But it suckers and can form colonies six feet or more across

Yes, it would look good planted informally. But can also look effective in a border as long as you are prepared to remove suckers on a fairly regular basis. I would imagine this could become invasive on light soils but in clay is more restrained

I've certainly got enough clay here, I thought it was bad when I lived in Cornwall, but here in Hampshire its dire!

I potted up some suckers last year to sell when the garden was open but none of them sold :-(

Are you certain this pretty plant is Sorbus reducta? To me, it looks a lot more like Sorbaria sorbifolia..

Kersha - I think you may be right. I bought it as sorbus reducta but the leaves make me think it may be what you suggest. I'll continue to investigate when I get a spare moment

I love this, its a very graceful shrub suitable for informal planting I should think?
