Dropwort (Filipendula vulgaris) Seeds

The Dropwort produces long, thin branches of delicate pink buds and foamy cream flowers and thin, fern-like leaves. Everything about this plant appears as soft and sweet as its common nickname, ‘Meadowsweet’, and it has a strong scent to match. Plant it alone or with pastel-petalled company in heavier, loamy soil for a supremely sugary spectacle.
