Providing spring to fall interest with its handsome ferny leaves, the Ural falsespirea is particularly arresting in midsummer when covered with frothy white flowerheads. An upright, suckering, thicketing shrub, it is native to northern Asia eastward to Japan.
Emerging very early in spring, the long frond-like compound leaves comprise numerous narrow leaflets. Young leaves are glossy light green with blushes of coppery red. In summer, upright astilbe-like clusters of tiny white flowers adorn the plant. Bees, butterflies and other nectar-loving insects visit the flower clusters. The brown stems and tan seed heads are attractive in winter.
Grow Ural falsespirea in full to partial sun in any soil that is not too soggy. It is one of the best plants for massing in dry soils for erosion control or as a tall groundcover. Because of its suckering habit, it requires room to romp. Although the pretty foliage is fine in texture, the look of this shrub is somewhat coarse. (info source: Learn2Grow.com)
