Meadowsweet is a graceful deciduous shrub that produces clusters of creamy white flowers in summer, ideal for moist garden borders or rain gardens. Plant in full sun to partial shade with consistently moist, fertile soil for best flowering. Prune stems back by one-third in late winter to promote vigorous new growth and abundant blooms.
