Filipendula rubra

Queen of the Prairie is a large perennial wildflower in the Rosaceae family. Preferring moist
soil, it does well in bogs, rain gardens, and moist meadows. It can tolerate full sun, and even
prefers it, as long as the soil does not dry out. The leaves are large and make a statement
themselves, being fragrant, lobed, and dentate. Sometime in June through August, pink misty
flowers bloom, attracting pollinators.
