This species loves to suckering. So it is not the best when combined with other garden plants but preferable to be a island of its own. On the University of Minnesota St. Paul Campus they have a island of this species and they cut it back to the ground every year and it comes back to 4 to 5 feet tall. I also see it sometimes in the average person's backyard but it is uncommonly used. It is more often used in roadside planting as it is tough and spreads to large sizes in time but slowly.

It have flowers that look like white astilbe when it blooms in mid summer (late June to July) which most other woody shrubs doesn't bloom. It will grow to 5 to 10 feet if untrimmed.

If you see shrubs that blooms in June/July that have white astilbe - like flowers this may be it.

I just love this plant! It is in bloom here in upstate NY in early July. It also makes a great privacy hedge, at least in summer. I just added another cultivar of this plant, one that has copper-colored foliage. The rhizomatic spread is not a problem; just cut it and plant it elsewhere.
