With warm summer days come the cool white spikes of Meadowsweet Spirea. This worthy native brings beauty and life to wild spaces and natural gardens all over the Northeast and Upper Midwest. The fragrant flowers attract a diverse array of pollinators, and the foliage feeds a variety of moth and butterfly larvae. Birds bob among the branches in search of caterpillar meals, and many find safety in the cover of Meadowsweet’s twiggy branches. Indigo Buntings, goldfinches, Song Sparrows, Field Sparrows, and Redwing Blackbirds have been known to build a nest and raise a family there.

Bower & Branch is proud to grow Audubon® Native Plants for Birds in partnership with the National Audubon Society to help birds and other wildlife thrive. Your purchase and planting of this native flora directly supports Audubon’s conservation mission and impact.
