This suckering shrub, native to Korea, Japan, China, and Eastern Siberia, is known as the False Spiraea (Sorbaria sorbifolia) because of the similarity of its white pyramidal flower panicles to those of Spiraea (steeplebush).
Sorbaria is a genus of around 9 species[1] of large hardy perennial shrubs that belong to the Rosaceae family. This flowering plant is sometimes referred to as ural false spirea or ash-leaf spirea.
