Green Alder vs MeadowsweetAlnus crispa Filipendula ulmaria SOLD OUT ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
Green Alder is a cold hardy, native shrub. It is often planted on infertile sites so it can fix nitrogen from the air and improve the soil quality.
Meadowsweet gets its name from its sweet fragrance from the creamy white flowers. It is a large upright herbaceous perennial shrub. They bloom in early summer, and with the right conditions may remain throughout the season. GREEN ALDER QUICK FACTSMEADOWSWEET QUICK FACTS
