Double meadowsweet Folklore & Trivia

Filipendula, commonly called meadowsweet, have long been grown as popular garden ornamentals in temperate climates (most are hardy to zone 3). Before becoming popular as a garden plant, meadowsweet was used as a herbal. Filipendula vulgaris (aka F. hexapetala) was used to flavour mead. It was from the flowerhead of F. ulmaria that salicylic acid was first derived (and I thought it was from willow!). Even modern day herbalists use Filipendula to relieve pain from arthritis, headache, peptic ulcers and gastritis. The rhizomes and young leaves of F. vulgaris are sometimes eaten in salads.
