  • Question

    A plant ID app that I use is calling this plant Japanese Meadowsweet, is this correct? It is located in a sunny upland area of my yard.

    Answer

    Dear Glenda, the plant pictured does look like Spiraea japonica (Japanese meadowsweet). It is a non-native species that is sometimes planted for ornament and occasionally escapes cultivation. Best wishes.
