How many plants do I need?Meadowsweet Description
Said to cheer the heart with its scent! Meadowsweet is a sacred herb of the Druids, often arranged on the altar when mixing love charms and spells. Its slender, branchy, red stems produce a frothy mass of small, pink, double flowers that fade to paler pink in late summer. They tend to spread, but they won't take over your garden. An elegant, deer-resistant flower that's great for mass planting in your back border or cutting garden, or in a bouquet of dried flowers. Filipendula purpurea Elegans
