What is Filipendula?
Filipendula is a genus consisting of a dozen flowering plants. Plants are originally in warm climate and are therefore located in the northern hemisphere. Some popular types include f. Vulgaris , f. Ulmaria and f. Rubra , with the common names Dropwort, Meadowsweet and Queen-Prairie. In the past, it has been believed that Philipendula is spiraea , the genus of tree species, which usually occur in Asia, but new evidence suggests that they are not so closely related. Plants are relatively short and reach a maximum height of 6.5 feet (2 m) and its flowers are colored shades of cream and pink. That's why his name.

Because of its pleasant smell, some people use it to the smell of their houses. Fresh root is a proven treatment of diarrhea and flowers can be made in a soothing tea that can provide comfort to those who sufferby arrest or flu.
f. Rubra is also a medicinal plant and is originally from the United States. It grows in the eastern parts of the country where it is warm and humid and often prefers shady areas. This plant is commonly used in ornamental gardens.
Drop-Wort or f. vulgaris differs from other common species in the genus in that instead of humid areas prefer dry pastures. This plant is commonly found in North Asia and most of Europe. The root of the drop can treat kidney disease and dissolve the hock to ease respiratory problems.
Most plants of the Philipendula prefer a moist but well -drained soil, but all of them need at least a partial shadow. Some species, similarly, Meadowsweet lasts harsh weather, so it is easy to grow outdoors. When growing from their native stand, these plants may require the treatment of fungicides to prevent the ROsmilitary disease. Bees are the most important pollinators, although they help them a wide range of other pollinators. These plants do not contain nectar.
In history, some species of the family Philipendula were found in the old funeral areas for human and animal. The flowers were either buried by bodies due to their pleasant scent and appearance or spiritual faith. During the 16th century, flowers were often covered on floors to overcome infections and odors and provide comfort to those who walk on hard floors. Queen Elizabeth I preferred Meadowsweet over all the other herbs for these factors. In Welsh mythology, a magician and king created a woman using Meadowsweet.
