Confusion between them arises in view of the fact that once someone called a spiraea a ashberry, and this name stuck in the image of people.

Although the search engine and shows information and photos on request Spirea Sorbifolium (spireanus ash-leaved) - this wording is incorrect.

Pruning is done almost immediately after flowering. Faded processes do not touch. Summer-flowering species are pruned from the fourth year of life, at a height of 22-30 cm from the ground. Having missed the right moment in order to rid the bush of unnecessary things, you deprive the plant of its decorativeness: the spirea will lose the correct shape of the crown, and the central branches may become deformed and eventually sink to the ground.
