I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Filipendula ulmaria 'Plena' is a double-flowered meadowsweet with dense clusters of creamy white blooms that appear in early to mid-summer. Its finely cut, bright green foliage adds texture, while its fragrant flowers attract pollinators. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil, this perennial performs best in full sun to part shade and is ideal for borders, rain gardens, and naturalized plantings. Resistant to deer, it provides reliable seasonal interest with minimal maintenance.

Planting: Plant in early to mid-spring, ideally within a week of receiving the roots. Soak bare roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting. Set the roots so they’re fully covered, with the crown or any visible buds just at or slightly above soil level. You can start them in 2-liter pots with quality compost or plant directly into the garden once soil is workable.
Location: Choose a site in full sun to partial shade. Filipendula thrives in reliably moist soil—perfect for borders near ponds, streams, or damp meadows.
Soil: Prefers humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0). Amend with compost if needed. Avoid dry or fast-draining spots.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Do not allow it to dry out—summer watering may be necessary.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in spring as growth begins. Avoid overfeeding.
Pruning: Cut back stems to 2–4 inches above soil level in autumn after flowering. Remove spent blooms to tidy the plant during the season.
Propagation: Divide clumps every few years in spring or fall to rejuvenate and multiply.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Ensure good air circulation to prevent mildew in humid conditions.
