Filipendula rubra 'Venusta Magnifica'

Filipendula rubra 'Venusta Magnifica', commonly known as queen of the prairie, is a tall, clump-forming perennial with coarse, dark green, deeply veined leaves. In mid to late summer, it produces large, airy panicles of fragrant, soft pink flowers above the foliage, creating a dramatic and eye-catching display in borders or naturalistic plantings.

The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, giving the plant strong ecological value. Its upright, architectural habit makes it ideal for damp borders, meadow-style plantings, and wildlife gardens where height and late-summer interest are desired.
