Ural Falsespirea

COMMON NAME	Ural Falsespirea
BOTANICAL NAME *	Sorbaria sorbifolia
ZONE	2 – 7 (8)
SIZE	Can grow to 5’ – 10’ HT & SP, but frequently kept much smaller. With judicious pruning, it will have a nice soft appearance.
FOLIAGE	Each leaflet has defined, parallel veins that lend it a unique texture. The outstanding feature is the foliage color in the spring. Early to emerge, the leaves are tinged with red or pink. The foliage has a nice medium green for summer.

FRUIT	Rarely noticed.
GROWING CONDITIONS	Moist well drained soil. In dry soil, it tends to become dwarfed. Full Sun to Part Shade.
NOTES	Sorbaria sorbifolia ‘Sem’ is the only cultivar I have observed. Though not on any lists, this may be Deer Resistant. I know of success in 2 gardens with visiting deer.
