Sorbaria (White Sumac)

Accepted common names are False Astilbe or False Spirea. Personally the astilbe nomenclature works but I don’t get the Spirea reference so much. In any case, we market this as White Sumac since the leaves look like a mini sumac leaf and the blossoms somewhat do resemble each other. We cut these flowers before any of the florets are open. They will continue to open in the cooler, slowly, or in a vase more quickly.
