Re: Queen of the Prairie

Alan

There's a great list of wet-mesic and wet prairie plants in the 
Tallgrass Restoration Handbook (Island Press, 1997), which probably 
everyone on this list ought to own.

I especially like Anemone canadensis, Iris virginica, Solidago 
ridellii, Aster puniceus and Chelone glabra as associates of 
Filipendula rubra. The latter is technically a rhizomatous herbaceous 
perennial, not a shrub, though it was in the past classified as a 
Spirea, which contains many shrubby species.

Happy planting
