Spiraea alba, White Meadowsweet
A great native alternative to the common landscaping plant Japanese Spirea, with lovely large clusters of white flowers on a 4ft green leaved shrub.
Description
Spiraea alba, commonly called meadowsweet, is a deciduous shrub which grows up to 4′ tall with cone-shaped clusters of tiny, white flowers that bloom in the summer. It also has fruits which mature in September and disperse in a similar way to milkweed. Effective in wet areas along streams or ponds and with regular watering, in a border or cottage garden.
