Rosy Meadowsweet: A Pollinator's Paradise

 Rosy Meadowsweet, also known as Spiraea tomentosa, is a standout wildflower during National Wildflower Week and Gardening for Wildlife Month due to its ecological and aesthetic contributions. Its vibrant pink blooms attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, supporting biodiversity in gardens and natural habitats. The plant thrives in wet meadows, bogs, and rain gardens, making it ideal for areas with moist soil. Additionally, Rosy Meadowsweet serves as a larval host for moths like the Columbia Silk Moth, further enriching ecosystems. Its resilience and ability to form colonies also make it valuable for erosion control and habitat restoration.
