'''''Filipendula''''' is a genus of 12 species of [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herbaceous]] [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Rosaceae]], native to the temperate regions of the [[Northern Hemisphere]]. Well-known species include [[Meadowsweet]] (''F. ulmaria'') and [[Dropwort]] (''F. vulgaris''), both native to [[Europe]], and [[Queen-of-the-forest]] (''F. occidentalis'') and [[Queen-of-the-prairie]] (''F. rubra''), native to [[North America]].
 +
 +
The species grow to between 0.5-2 m tall, with large [[inflorescence]]s of small five-petalled [[flower]]s, creamy-white to pink-tinged in most species, dark pink in ''F. rubra''.

Perennials with fibrous or tuberous rootstock: lvs. stipulate, interruptedly odd-pinnate, the terminal lft. often much larger and palmately lobed: fls. in cymose corymbs; calyx-lobes and petals usually 5; stamens 20-40, with the filaments narrowed toward the base; carpels distinct, 5-15, 1-seeded, indehiscent.—Nine species in N. Asia and Himalayas, N. Amer. and Eu. Filipendula has usually been united with Spiraea, but is very distinct in its herbaceous habit, pinnate stipulate lvs. and indehiscent 1-seeded achenes. The meadow-sweets are hardy plants with rather large pinnate or palmately lobed leaves and white, pink or purple flowers in showy terminal corymbs, borne on erect leafy stems rising 1 to 10 feet from a rosette of radical leaves. They bloom in early summer or midsummer and are very handsome border plants. Most of them delight in a rather moist and rich soil and are especially decorative if planted on the borders of ponds and brooklets, but F. hexapetala prefers drier situations and likes full sun, while most of the others also thrive well in partly shaded positions. F. purpurea should be mulched during the winter in the North. Propagated by seeds sown in fall in pans or boxes and kept in the cool greenhouse, or sown in spring; also by division of older plants.

Filipendula is a genus of 12 species of perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Well-known species include Meadowsweet (F. ulmaria) and Dropwort (F. vulgaris), both native to Europe, and Queen-of-the-forest (F. occidentalis) and Queen-of-the-prairie (F. rubra), native to North America.

The species grow to between 0.5-2 m tall, with large inflorescences of small five-petalled flowers, creamy-white to pink-tinged in most species, dark pink in F. rubra.
