Description

For a new shrub that does it all, colour, texture, movement and drama, Sorbaria 'Crimson Feather' really is the one to plant! This astonishing deciduous shrub delivers season after season, with seriously bold, fine-textured foliage that erupts in a vivid shade of scarlet red. And that’s just in spring.

Known for its exotic, fern-like leaves, this compact Sorbaria is a breakthrough in hardy garden shrubs. It thrives in borders, makes a striking low hedge, and yes, you can grow it in a pot too. It’s easy, it’s proven, and it brings that wow-factor that every garden craves.

Every year it rewards with a firework display of colour from bud burst, evolving to golden green leaves.

Fancy something that stands out from the usual green-leaf suspects? This plant’s got serious ornamental value and thrives without mollycoddling. It’s fully hardy, shrugs off frost, and doesn’t demand constant care. Just give it a decent spot in the garden, water it in, and let it do its thing.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
For the best colour contrast, plant against a dark background or near green-leaved shrubs to let its fiery tones stand out even more.
Care Information

On Arrival:

As soon as your Sorbaria 'Crimson Feather' arrives, unpack it carefully and check that the compost is slightly moist. If it's dry to the touch, give it a gentle water. Stand the pot in a sheltered, bright spot outdoors, away from strong wind or hot midday sun, until you're ready to plant. Ideally plant within a few days of receipt.

How to Plant:

  • Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position in the garden, in any well-drained soil. Sorbaria are not fussy shrubs and will tolerate a range of soil types, including clay, as long as it's not waterlogged.
  • Dig a hole slightly wider than the pot.
  • Loosen the soil at the base and sides.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and gently tease out the roots if tightly bound.
  • Place it in the hole so it sits at the same depth as in the pot.
  • Backfill with soil, firming in gently as you go.
  • Water well after planting.
  • Alternatively, plant in a large pot using a quality multi-purpose compost with added grit or perlite for drainage.

Ongoing Care:

  • Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, Sorbaria is relatively drought-tolerant, but watering during long dry spells will keep foliage looking its best, especially in containers.
  • Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring, or feed monthly from April to August with a general-purpose liquid feed to support strong, colourful growth.
  • Very little pruning is needed. In late winter or early spring, cut back any old or congested stems to the base to rejuvenate the plant and encourage fresh, vibrant foliage. Trim back any suckering growth at the base if you want to keep it compact.
  • Fully hardy in the UK, Sorbaria 'Crimson Feather' needs no protection in winter. The foliage will naturally die back in autumn, returning fresh in spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
