White Meadowsweet is a native deciduous shrub with a rounded, upright growth habit.  Its glossy green leaves are narrow and oblong with toothed margins turn yellow with occasional hints of orange in fall.  Clusters of tiny fragrant pinkish-white flowers in narrow, pyramid-shaped panicles bloom at the branch tips in summer, and are very attractive to butterflies.  These flower panicles brown in fall and hold through winter. Grows best in full sun and moist well-drained soils.  Can tolerate clay and wet soils, and even occasional flooding.
