Filipendula ulmaria
Perennial herb of damp meadows with airy clusters of creamy flowers. The aromatic leaves and flowers were formerly used as a strewing herb, including in churches for weddings and festivals. The flowers can be used to flavour fruit, jams, wine, mead, beer and vinegar, and impart an almond-like flavour. The herb also has many medicinal uses. A compound similar to aspirin is present in the roots, which can be chewed, for example, to relieve headaches. The roots also yield a black dye. The plant grows up to 2m in height when in flower – mid-summer to early autumn. Prefers full sun or part shade and a moist situation.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
