How to plant Filipendula
Choose an appropriate site that will accommodate the mature size of your plant and dig a hole that matches the depth and width of your roots. Back fill with native soil and water thoroughly. You may wish to apply a layer of mulch consisting of animal manure to retain moisture levels and to suppress weeds.
How to care for Filipendula
If your plant is positioned in an exposed area, the stems may require some staking for support. Ensure that the soil is kept moist especially during dry periods of weather. You may wish to cut back the plants severely during late summer to keep a pleasing appearance.
How to propagate Filipendula
It is possible to propagate Filipendula by division in autumn. These plants tend to spread at a rapid rate and division will help to control invasiveness.
