Sorbaria 'Sem'
If you get our Wayside Newsletter, you've seen the new highlighted Plant of the Week Sorbaria 'Sem' – these POWs are chosen based on popularity and uniqueness, and this week's plant is both. I really love plants that have interesting foliage – they really add a new level of depth and beauty to simple flower gardens. Sorbaria 'Sem' offers beautiful bright foliage from spring until frost.

Sorbaria 'Sem' is a more compact variety of this popular genus. It is loved for its uniquely dense, pinkish-red spring foliage and great branching.  'Sem' is easy-to-grow, and it will add wonderful foliage texture and color variety to your garden garden.

Caring for your Sorbaria:

This cute little shrub is durable and fast-growing – it is also fairly low-maintenance.

Sunlight – 'Sem' thrives in full sun or part shade.

Soil – Provide moist, well-drained soil.

Pruning – Prune to the ground in late winter or early spring. Remove older, dying stalks as needed.
