Filipendula General Information

Filipendula are consistent performers, interesting in both leaf and flower. If planted in mass, the dwarf size of this variety is an ideal ground cover. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Filipendula Plant Care

Best selection for the coldest areas. Prefer morning sun and afternoon shade in a moist location. Cut back dead tops in fall or leave for spring. Remove spent flower stems to prevent self sowing. Divide in spring or fall as often as needed.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
