Meadowsweets — White meadowsweet (Spiraea alba) Plants

In midsummer this native shrub is covered with white frothy flowers (occasionally pink) that bloom for 6-8 weeks and attract pollinating bees and butterflies. Small light green leaves host the caterpillar of the Spring Azure butterfly. A low open habit make this an easy plant to include in any garden or landscape. Looks nice both as a lone shrub or in a mixed hedge with wild rose, bayberry, and yellow honeysuckle. Tolerant of flooding and makes a good rain garden plant. Deer-resistant.
