Asian meadowsweet is a deciduous shrub known for its stout, vertical growth, typically reaching 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) in height and slightly more in width. It showcases a profusion of small, white flowers gathered in dense clusters during the spring. These blooms are a magnet for butterflies. Post bloom, the shrub maintains visual interest with its distinctive three-lobed, blue-green leaves that have a coarse, toothed edge. The bush maintains a neat, compact shape with branches that spread out gracefully.
