Stiff-spreading clusters of salmon-pink flowers on burgundy stems top Korean meadowsweet (Filipendula koreana), a 3-foot-tall perennial from eastern Asia. The attractive foliage is palmate and resembles large maple leaves. It is similar in appearance to its American cousin queen-of-the-prairie (Filipendula rubra) but smaller in stature. Its new growth in spring is orange-ish in color. Moist soils in sunny locations are ideal for this species, which has been included in Filipendula glaberrima as a result of recent taxonomic investigations.
