Can anyone help please? I bought this about 5 years ago and have lost the label and can't remember what it's called............just wondered whether there's anyone out there might be able to help  :)

    I would agree.

    Yep.  I got one last year.  Lovely and fern like.  Apparently they sucker but none so far for me.  They have some next to the car park in a local park and they seem to have taken over.

    Once established they are prolific suckerers [ is that a word? ], but i still like them. I have grown several from the suckers of the original.

    I don't mind if it does become a suckerer (I'm using it now).

    Well, if it wasn't a word, it is now.

    It certainly does try for world domination.
    I've got Sorbaria 'Sem' ... and it's in a very large pot which is buried in a border.

    At least twice a year I circumnavigate the pot with a sharp spade and sever the runners and pull them all out.

    I do like it, especially in spring, but I wouldn't plant one without some sort of restriction ... and I've got a large garden.
