It typically grows to a height of about 1.2-2.4 meters (4-8 feet) and has a spread of about 1.2 meters (4 feet).

The leaves are deeply divided and toothed, with a bright green color.

Clean the seeds to remove any debris. Cold stratification is beneficial for breaking seed dormancy. Place the seeds in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for several weeks. After stratification, sow the seeds in a well-draining potting mix, covering them lightly with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide a cool, shaded environment with temperatures around 60-70°F (15-21°C). Germination can take several weeks to months. Once seedlings emerge, provide bright, indirect light. Transplant them into individual pots as they develop true leaves. Gradually acclimate the seedlings to outdoor conditions before planting them in a suitable spot with moist, fertile soil and partial sunlight. This meticulous process ensures successful Filipendula rubra seed germination, leading to the growth of these beautiful perennial plants with their striking pink flower clusters and attractive foliage, making them a charming addition to wetland and garden landscapes.
