Filipendula rubra- Queen of the Prairie Size:FILRUB-PLUG Does not spread aggressively likeQueen of the Prairie is a one of a kind native that turns heads in the summer with airy, cotton candy like sprays of bright pink flowers that stand tall above more petite garden neighbors. Its impressive stature and striking blooms add drama and majesty to the top of the garden while its large sharply lobed, almost feathery leaves provide contrast and texture all the way to the ground. Its unique foliage also gives off a pleasing, cucumber fragrance.
