Filipendula palmata – Siberian meadowsweet – Rosaceae

Class summary: Alternate segments. Looks like an Astilbe. Likes wet soil. Queen of the Prairie is the common name, but this can be given multiple names – confusing when buying at nurseries. White to pink. Short to tall. All different varieties. Diversity in positioning (like in nature) helps with an informal garden and weeds are more acceptable or out competed.

Site/Notes: Likes partial to full shade. Rich, average to wet soil. Semi tolerant of standing water and pollution. Good in massing or border. 3 ft by 32 inches. Zone 3-9 hardiness. Clumping formation with tall unbranched stems. Colonizing and rhizome forming but grows a little every year and stays close by clump. June to July flowering.

Aesthetic/Notes: I think this is a great find. I prefer the pink varieties because its like an Astilbe but more prolific due to it’s flowering structure. This would be great colour for a woodland/shade garden. The light green shield fern paired beside it in the UBC botanical garden, really accented the bright pink.
