Sorbaria ... Sem...

What a lovely picture! These are lovely shrubs but I've always resisted because they(some species) do tend to send suckers up all over, don't they?

The one you sent me is doing ever so well Amy, so pleased with it.

That's lovely Amy

i havent noticed any suckers on mine? they are really pretty amy, especially at this stage, mine hasnt grown as much as yours though!

Maybe this is a different one to those I see a lot around here! there are lots of varieties!!!!the new leaves are gorgeous!

Very pretty Amy. Quite advanced too!

Thanks all , I'm glad your shrub is growing well Angela ,
You are right Paul they do have a lot of suckers ,I've taken several off mine to give away ....

They are such a welcome sight.

Lovely to see some new spring shoots :o)))

this is Unique:-OOO

Hi Amy@What is the full name of this shrub and how high does it grow? Looks pretty.

Thanks all , I'm pleased you like it :o) Kat the full name is Sorbaria ...sorbifolia 'Sem ' It grows to 1 metre likes sun and semi-shade flowers during July /Aug.producing creamy white blooms ,good winter hardiness .

This is lovely Amy. You say it doesn't mind semi shade, does it have a soil preference?

Thats pretty Amy.. mines just started to grow as well

Annella I've found and looked at the plant label it doesn't actually say anything about the soil requirements ,it says winter hardy -likes sun and semi shade , I assume it doesn't need anything special , my soil is slightly acid if thats any help .. Thanks Holly did you have anything on your label about soil requirements ?

Thanks Amy

:o))

no mine were from cuttings someone sent me.... ive just got mine in a pot with normal compost.

I love new red foliage,Amy..so striking,and it looks a pretty plant..shame it suckers so much,or I might have begged one of them from you ..:o) just haven't got the space..:o(

Well if you change your mind Sandra let me know :o))

I will,Amy..I will ! A lady's privilege to change her mind..so they say :o) Thanks x

Amy can I beg Bloomers one as she doesn't want it? I will happily send the postage :o)))

Have sent you a PM Annella :o))
