Growing Zones 2-10
Dessert is served! You’ll love this tropical-looking deciduous shrub with amazing golden yellow-green leaves! Cherry On Top™ Sorbaria (Sorbaria sorbifolia 'Bococot' ) looks reminiscent of Sumac but it’s actually in the False Spirea family. A colonizing shrub that will gradually naturalize and create dense drifts of feathery foliage and wands of feathery plume-like blooms!
The golded new leaves are a vibrant orange-red before becoming almost chartreuse and add fine texture to these mounding shrubs! A much tidier, neater and smaller form, these Sorbaria are as equally super hardy and wildly adaptable to most conditions!
The tall plumes of feathery white flowers resemble Astilbe or Tree Lilacs in summer turn to red seed pods through fall for a striking appearance and colorful winter interest! The dense clumps that form provide a perfect safe haven for birds and wildlife, while the autumn seeds feed the birds! All this is highlighted by lively red stems too!
Planting and Application:
Cherry On Top™ features elegant foliage that softens hardscapes and corners of sheds or your home! Let groupings colonize a back corner of your property or fill in an outdoor space that you’d prefer a bit more privacy in. The graceful foliage hides unsightly views with color, butterflies and birds!
Creating groupings naturally by suckering, let them create informal mass plantings which not only dampen sound and provide shelter but are ideal for preventing soil erosion and bank stabilization. Plant in pollinator gardens, naturalized and wildlife areas, and tropical flair without the tropical fuss around seating areas and poolside!
- Fine-Textured Tropical Golden-Green Foliage
- Pollinator & Bird-Friendly
- Colorful New Growth & Amazing Fall Color
- White Fluffy Plumes of Foamy Flowers
- Red Seed Pods & Seeds - Winter Interest
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Sorbaria is incredibly cold-hardy! Handling as low as growing zone 2, and even growing up into zone 10, they are also surprisingly heat-tolerant as well! Provide a full sun to part shade location in about any kind of well-drained soil with regular access to water. Prune back in spring if needed, and to prevent spreading, remove suckers in spring to maintain size.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Adaptable to Most Well-Drained Soil
- Heat & Cold Tolerant
- Deer Resistant
- Prune in Spring
A three-season interest, wildlife-friendly deciduous shrub, Cherry On Top™ Sorbaria combines vivid color, graceful elegance and wild beauty into one fancy dish! All served up with - well - a cherry on top! Order your new favorite hardy plants at NatureHills.com!
