Collection of 3 Filipendula

x 1 Filipendula purpurea 'Alba': white form producing panicles of white flowers slightly dusted with soft pink.

x 1 Filipendula purpurea 'Elegans': horticultural variety with soft pink, well-scented flowers. Vegetation slightly more compact than in the original species.

Plant these Queens of the meadow in rich, clayey to humus-bearing, non-calcareous soil, remaining slightly moist to very moist in summer, especially if the plants are exposed to the sun. These perennials do not tolerate drought. Keep a spacing of 50 to 60 cm so that each plant can reach its full potential. Filipendulas form very beautiful clumps in the foreground of flower beds, along paths and of course on the banks of a water feature. They also make a lush, soft and wild background for small gardens. To accompany them, consider for example Persicaria, Rodgersias and Eupatoriums that like the same conditions.
