Sorbaria sorbifolia First Editions® 'Matcha Ball'®

Sorbaria sorbifolia First Editions® 'Matcha Ball'®                                                                     (Ash Leaf Spirea) A perfect round ball of pretty fern-like foliage in a fresh shade of green. (That green color reminded us of Matcha tea, thus the name.) Upon emergence in very early spring there is a hint of color in the leaves and petioles that ranges from red to orange-peach in color, ultimately maturing to green. Blooms sparsely, doesn’t develop suckers and maintains a tight round form throughout the growing season. Fall color is yellow. Prefers moist, well-drained organic soil. Tolerates full sun to some light shade. Discovered by Denis Levac of Québec, Canada. 2-3', Z3-7.
