What is this plant?
« on: February 06, 2014, 10:59:40 AM »
I have grown this plant from seed, the label has been lost since the plant was small, and anyway I think it was wrong seeds, since I don't think I have sown this kind of plant. Actually it is pretty nice.  :) Does anyone know what this is?

I forgot to add that it flowers in the beginning of July here, and grows in semishade.

It's a species of Filipendula. Perhaps F. kamtschatica?

Thank you Matt. It is not very tall,  something between 1-1,5m.

Leena, I agree with Matt. It looks very similar to my F. kamtschatica.

Thanks Hoy. :)
I have another plant which I have gotten as F.kamtschatica and which has white flowers and is over 2 m high when flowering, also the leaves are bigger, but I will have to compare it's leaves to this plant when the summer comes.
If this seed grown Filipendula with pinkish flowers grows as big I will have to move it to someplace else. :)
Last summer was only the second time it flowered so it is a young plant still, and that may be why it isn't yet so big..
