False spiraea is characterized by its deciduous nature and robust, erect stature. This shrub typically achieves a height of 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 meters) and a similar width. It adorns itself with pinnate leaves that mirror those of the Sorbus genus, giving it a fern-like appearance. During the blooming period, it boasts dense, fluffy plumes of small white flowers, adding to its ornamental value. New growth often shows reddish tinges, while autumn brings a soft yellow hue to its foliage.
