var.

,

Dropwort (Filipendula vulgaris), also known as Fern-leaf Dropwort, is a perennial herb of the family Rosaceae closely related to Meadowsweet. It is found in dry pastures across much of Europe and central and northern Asia.

It has finely-cut, radical leaves, fern-like in appearance, and an erect stem 20 - 50 cm tall^[1] bearing a loose terminal inflorescence of small white flowers. The tiny flowers appear in dense clusters from late spring to mid summer. The crushed leaves and roots have a scent of oil of wintergreen (Methyl salicylate).

Cultivation

This plant prefers full sun to partial shade. It is more tolerant of dry conditions than most other members of its genus.

Propagation

Propagation is by seed and the division of the creeping roots.
