Meadowsweet

In nature, meadowsweets live in damp meadows and swampy forest areas, creating stunningly beautiful and lush thickets. And they prefer similar conditions in the garden.

Also known as meadowsweet, the meadowsweet traditionally unfolds its white lace and appears to be covered with a shining foam at the very beginning of summer. Many consider the meadowsweet to be too modest, but the beauty of flowering and the endurance of plants more than compensate for the lack of showiness.

The plumose leaves form dense and lush sod bushes even below, creating a dark background for the numerous paniculate or corymbose inflorescences. Due to the miniature size of individual flowers, the inflorescences seem to be snow-white foam, although there are meadowsweet blooming in a delicate pink palette.

Variants of using meadowsweet

Dabaznik is used as an edge for trees and shrubs on waterlogged soil, in large landscape areas, as a large and lush base of a swamp garden, on the banks of a reservoir.

The necessary conditions

For a meadowsweet, a constantly moist or partially swampy soil is suitable, not acidic, sufficiently light in texture, sandy loam or loamy, with a high level of organic matter and good aeration; meadowsweet prefer good lighting, although they easily adapt to partial shade of varying intensity.

Features of caring for a meadowsweet

• cutting off wilted inflorescences;
• separation of bushes every 5-6 years;
• watering only on dry soils to maintain constant moisture.

The best species and varieties of meadowsweet

• meadowsweet up to one and a half meters high with large pinnately dissected leaves and dense inflorescences;
• graceful, compact and surprisingly delicate Korean meadowsweet, in which pink buds are replaced by snow-white blooms.
