The young plant is only about a dozen centimeters tall. It's impossible to know if it will produce the same thing as in the picture. We'll have to wait until next Spring.

Description
The Filipendula ulmaria 'Aurea', also known as the Meadowsweet, is a robust and hardy perennial that thrives in heavy and moist soil. The colour of its foliage is striking, ranging from yellow to green, with various shades throughout the season: almost fluorescent, then lime green, and finally soft green. It is a true ray of light in flower beds. Its numerous delicate white flowers are grouped in airy corymbs and attract pollinators, blooming from June to August. Both wild and elegant, it suits different types of gardens and requires minimal care.
The Meadowsweet has been known for its many virtues for centuries. First, aromatic: it flavors wines, beers, and mead. But also medicinal, a sacred plant for druids, it is used as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic... In our gardens, it is primarily decorative: long branching stems emerge from its rhizomatous stump, bearing large shiny leaves. These leaves are odd-pinnate, meaning they are composed of several leaflets, distinctly crenate and pinnate, with a wavy surface that pleasantly reflects light. At the tips of the stems, airy corymbs sway in the wind. They consist of multiple small white flowers, slightly fragrant, with prominent stamens that give it a lot of charm. Don't be fooled by its delicate appearance, it can withstand cold temperatures (-15°C (5°F)) and appreciates both sunny and semi-shady positions. Its only requirement is to avoid soils that may dry out.
It pairs well with companions of similar hues, such as Euphorbia cyparissias, Acorus gramineus 'Ogon', and Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola', creating a bold-coloured grouping that stands out against a uniform background like a boxwood hedge. However, it can also blend into multicolored arrangements, bringing its vibrant palette and contrasting with darker neighbors, such as Hydrangea aspera 'Hot Chocolate', Berberis, or Heuchera 'Blackout'. It is up to you to decide where to place its spotlight, as its size (60 cm (24in)) suits both small and large gardens.

Planting and care
The Filipendula ulmaria 'Aurea' is a low-maintenance plant, hardy down to -15°C (5°F), that will thrive in any average soil, even heavy, as long as it remains moist, but prefers a humus-rich soil, in full sun or partial shade. During particularly dry summers, we recommend closely monitoring watering to prevent it from becoming fragile, which would make it susceptible to mildew.
Simply cut the flower stalks at the end of summer to maintain it.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
