Sorbaria

This plant is loved for its "feather-like" leaves. The light, soft and dome-shaped blooms resemble that of a mushroom head. They are very hardy and prefer full sun in which colored-leaved varieties develop vivid hues. They also thrive in a wide range of well-drained soils but dislike dry or very alkaline conditions. Improve sandy patches by digging in plenty of rotted organic matter.
