Rosaceae

Sorbaria sorbifolia 'Pink Hopi' is distinguished by its panicles of pale pink flowers, a rare shade among sorbarias, which brings a floral softness to the whole. Its compound, light green foliage offers a light texture and takes on pretty golden hues in autumn. Compact, floriferous, and well-branched, it is ideal for flower borders, natural-style gardens, or mixed beds. Very hardy, it grows well in all types of soil, even heavy, and requires little maintenance for maximum effect.
