    Plant Type: Deciduous Shrubs

    It prefers a moist, well-drained, organic soil. This deciduous shrub is multi-stemmed and grows 6-8 feet tall and 5-10 feet wide. Spireas are among the easiest flowering shrubs to grow since they are tolerant of many soils, except extremely wet. The plant also likes mulch and summer watering and prefers full sun to partial shade. Spireas are great for mass plantings or groupings, screens or border shrubs.

    A breakthrough in color and habit, ‘Sem’ is an improvement over other Sorbaria varieties in every way.

    Pinkish-red, fern-like spring foliage unfurls along deep pink stems. In full sun the foliage takes on a chartreuse tint and in autumn, bronze hues appear.

    In July and August, the neat round shrub covers itself with creamy white blossoms. This dwarf variety makes a wonderful low hedge, a great accent and is pretty enough to put in a pot on the patio.
