Sorbaria, a hardy deciduous shrub, enjoys full sun to partial shade, and thrives in a wide range of soil types, provided drainage is good. Overwatering and waterlogged soil can cause root rot. Regular pruning is required to control rampant growth. Common challenges include susceptibility to aphids, caterpillars, and diseases like leaf spot. Extreme cold in winter may harm young plants so protective measures may be needed. Seasonal concern also includes monitoring and managing its spreading habit, particularly in spring when new growth commences.
