    Easy low-care shrub-like perennial as long as you can maintain soil on the moister side. Remove the green shoots or you will lose the variegation over time. Also, it may be wise to cut back after flowering; self seeding will likely produce non-variegated plants.
  • Posted by Trish (Grapevine, TX - Zone 8a) on May 3, 2022 12:31 PM concerning plant:
    This hardy perennial grows 4 feet tall, producing plumes of creamy white or pink flowers in midsummer. It's one of the few perennials that can thrive in shade and wet conditions.

    A new variegated form of Filipendula adds color and character to this hardy perennial's list of desirable traits. Filipendula ulmaria 'variegata' features dark green foliage with splashes of bright gold. Occasionally a branch will revert to all-green foliage. Simply prune it out to keep the plant uniformly variegated.
