Sorbaria sorbifolia 'Matcha Ball'
The Sorbaria sorbifolia ‘Matcha Ball’, commonly known as False Spiraea ‘Matcha Ball’, is a compact deciduous shrub with a dense, rounded habit, prized for its finely cut foliage and naturally rounded silhouette. In spring, its young shoots emerge a bright lime green, reminiscent of matcha tea, then evolve to a medium green in summer before taking on a slight golden yellow hue in autumn. In summer, it produces upright panicles of small, slightly fragrant, creamy white flowers that are pollinator-friendly. More compact and better structured than the species type, it is perfectly suited for beds, borders, and small gardens. Sorbaria sorbifolia ‘Matcha Ball’ prefers fresh to slightly moist soil and a sunny to partially shaded exposure for vigorous growth.
