(Meadowsweet)

(Siberian Meadowsweet)

This tall, clump-forming perennial is most commonly grown for its impressive, deeply lobed leaves rather than its relatively small stems of fluffy white flowers. Siberian meadowsweet is native to Russia, China and North Korea, where it can be growing in moist soils along sunny slopes, forest edges and grassy fields.

The dark green, almost maple-like leaves of this hardy plant have a variable number of lobes—the upper leaves have five to nine and lower three to five. The leaves are also distinguished...

(Dwarf Meadowsweet, Siberian Meadowsweet)

This pink-flowered form of Siberian meadowsweet is often confused with Filipendula rubra, but its sprays of fluffy pink flowers are smaller, finer and looser and its palmate leaves have fluffy white hairs beneath.

It is tall and forms a substantial bushy, upright, clump that will slowly spread over time.

Large, deeply lobed, almost maple-like leaves grace this...

(Martha Washington's Plume, Prairie Meadowsweet, Queen-of-the-Prairie)

Like many herbaceous perennials adapted to the vast prairies of eastern North America, ‘Venusta' is fully herbaceous, very hardy and a perfect partner to attractive bunch grasses. It is robust and forms a substantial bushy,...

(Dropwort)

Fern-like foliage, puffy flumes of white summertime flowers and a tolerance for drier, more alkaline soils sets dropwort apart from other members of Filipendula. A clump-forming herbaceous perennial, it is native to a large expanse of Europe eastward to northern and central Asia. Variable in habit, the former name of Filipendula hexapetala is now included within this species, even though the former usually was much shorter in mature height. Plants grow from swollen, tuberous rhizomes...
