Dropwort
Filipendula vulgaris
Dropwort is a delicate-looking yet tough perennial that thrives in well-drained, chalky or limestone soils and full to partial sun — it is an excellent choice for a wildflower meadow or dry border. Its feathery foliage and clusters of creamy-white flowers attract pollinators throughout summer with very little effort required from the gardener. Once established it is largely self-sufficient, needing only an annual cut-back after flowering to keep it tidy.
