Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.


Care Instructions
Sorbaria is an easy-to-grow plant that requires minimal care. Ensure that the soil is moist, but not waterlogged. Sorbaria prefers full to partial sunlight and well-drained soil. Pruning is recommended in the early spring to promote flowering and maintain its shape. Sorbaria is a deciduous plant, and during the growing season, fertilize it with a balanced fertilizer. When winter arrives, cut it back to approximately 3 inches from the ground level. With proper care, sorbaria can provide a beautiful leafy backdrop in your garden.
