Spirea alba

Commonly known as Meadowsweet Spirea, is a deciduous shrub native to North America. It is recognized for its dense clusters of white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, adding a soft, airy touch to gardens and natural landscapes. With its slender, green leaves and ability to thrive in moist, well-drained soils, white meadowsweet is often used in wetland areas, along stream banks, and for erosion control. Its graceful appearance and easy care make it a popular choice for landscaping and wildlife-friendly plantings.
