Filipendula 'Venusta'
This magnificent perennial for the border produces rose-pink, candyfloss-like blooms that can light up the garden. These flowers are held proud of the attractive, deep green, lacy leaves. A cultivar of meadowsweet, Filipendula 'Venusta' forms a sturdy, upright bush, up to 200cm in height. Its large flowerheads appear between June and August. It’s a good plant for cutting, too.
A plant originally seen growing as a native North American wildflower, and known as queen of the prairie, Filipendula rubra 'Venusta' needs a position in full sun, and a moist soil, to give of its best. It will be most at home at the back of a border, and is especially nice by a stream. It is also relatively pest- and disease-resistant! In fact, it is such a good cultivar that the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM). Venusta means handsome in Latin, and we wouldn't disagree!
