Queen-of-the-Prairie, Flipendula rubra

Queen of the Prairie is a native perennial plant that prefers wet to moist conditions and full sun or partial shade. I have the plant in two gardens, Illinois native plants garden and Rain Garden. The plan is 3-6 feet tall and towers above the other plants. The flowers are light pink. In Illinois the plant is on the endangered species list.
