Family Rosaceae

Sorbaria sorbifolia 'Mr. Mustard' is a vigorous and very decorative deciduous shrub, appreciated for its bright, vibrant yellow foliage that brightens up beds, borders, and informal hedges from spring until the first frosts. This sorbaria cultivar develops a spreading and generous habit, quickly forming a light and textured clump, ideal for landscape beds, the back of flowerbeds, or green screens. In summer, plumes of cream-colored flowers rise above the foliage, attracting butterflies and pollinators, and then the plant offers an interesting silhouette even in winter. Easy to grow and hardy, it prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained to moist soil, with minimal maintenance.
