Kat, these just grow wild for me. They seem to like wet feet and full sun, and sucker freely. The common name is hardhack, not sure why. I did see there is a white variety - Spirea betulifolia - that is also native, but I don't have that on my property. We quit running livestock several years ago, which has resulted in a lot more native plants establishing themselves.

Ah, S. betulifolia is kind of flat topped and white flowered, both are natives in BC, but birchleaved spirea is everywhere in my garden. I'd love some hardback, if you were in Canada I could trade you for some S. betulifolia.
