Spreads by rhizomes, forming large colonies that can dominate moist prairie patches.
Considered uncommon and vulnerable in parts of its range due to habitat loss, but cultivated widely in native plant gardens.
Related to Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria), which was historically used in medicine and brewing. Some indigenous groups also used Filipendula rubra for remedies.
