Filipendula vulgaris ‘Plena’ (Meadowsweet)

Filipendula vulgaris ‘Plena’ (Meadowsweet)

A refined, compact perennial featuring delicate, double white flowers held in airy clusters above finely divided, fern-like green foliage. Blooming in early to midsummer, the soft, frothy blooms create a light, cloud-like effect that adds texture without overwhelming nearby plants.

Its smaller size makes it well-suited for the front of borders, rock gardens, or naturalistic plantings, where its fine foliage and subtle flowers can be appreciated up close.

Filipendula vulgaris prefers well-drained soil compared to other species in the genus, making it a good choice for average garden conditions. The blooms attract pollinators and provide a gentle, natural look in the landscape.
