Filipendula rubra ‘Venusta'
Size / Sun / Conditions
3–5' tall. Sun to part shade. Moist soil. Great in the flower border as well as shrubs.
Filipendula produces airy plumes of soft pink flowers that float above bold, textured foliage, bringing a light, naturalistic quality to the garden. Blooming in midsummer, it adds height, structure, and a sense of movement to borders and woodland edges.
It thrives in moist soils and is particularly well suited to rain gardens or consistently damp areas, where it can reach its full, graceful potential. Pollinators are drawn to its frothy blooms, which also make exuberant, large-scale cut arrangements. The vibrant, crisp foliage contributes a strong architectural presence, balancing its softness with structure.1 quart container
