Filipendula Ulmaria

"Meadowsweet" is one of the most attractive spring and summer flowers, bearing white fluffy sprays of flowers on strong stems which bear jagged-edged, corrugated leaves. Thriving in both garden soil and boggy waterside conditions, the flowers and leaves, if bruised, have a pleasant and quite pronounced 'antiseptic' fragrance, very much like "Savlon" cream.
