Filipendula ulmaria
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
Developed in Barrhead, Alberta, the Robert Chokecherry produces very large berries (comparable to the size of grapes) with good yield.
The berries can be used for wine, jams, jellies and fresh picking, making it one of the sweeter chokecherries. Rich, red foliage make it a striking landscape addition.
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.
Take care of where you’re planting Meadowsweet as it is known to spread.
